Village

Translation
Village
Village Vil"lage (?; 48), n. [F., fr. L. villaticus belonging to a country house or villa. See {Villa}, and cf. {Villatic}.] A small assemblage of houses in the country, less than a town or city. [1913 Webster]

{Village cart}, a kind of two-wheeled pleasure carriage without a top. [1913 Webster]

Syn: {Village}, {Hamlet}, {Town}, {City}.

Usage: In England, a hamlet denotes a collection of houses, too small to have a parish church. A village has a church, but no market. A town has both a market and a church or churches. A city is, in the legal sense, an incorporated borough town, which is, or has been, the place of a bishop's see. In the United States these distinctions do not hold. [1913 Webster]
