Talk:village

How is one supposed to know how big a village is if it's "between a hamlet and a town" and hamlet itself is defined simply as being "smaller than a village"? This is not very helpful. 128.187.0.165 03:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Missing legal sense?
Chambers 1908 has this sense: "(law) a manor, a parish or the outlying part of a parish". Equinox ◑ 16:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

As an adjectival term, a la "village idiot"
Would it be necessarily at this point to also define "village" as an adjective, in the sense of "the obligatory person in this community who is [a(n)] X", or is the term not used in this way enough to warrant inclusion? 2606:A000:131D:C5B1:D61:689D:28AC:9119 18:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)


 * That's attributive use of a noun. You can't say "how village is he?", "he is very village", etc. Equinox ◑ 18:24, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
