вес
Bulgarian
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Slavic *vьsь (“settlement”). Akin to Bulgarian вила (vila, “villa”) (of Latin origin) and further to archaic English wick (“dwelling”) (found in Gatwick, Reykjavík, etc.). Possibly also related to the ethnonym ви́кинг (víking, “viking”), which is the origin of Bulgarian ви́тег (víteg), ви́тез (vítez, “hero, knight”).
Pronunciation
editNoun
editвес • (ves) m

- Synonyms: махала́ (mahalá), ви́лна зо́на (vílna zóna)
Usage notes
editUsed until the Ottoman conquest to denote temporary or isolated settlements that lacked the infrastructure to be qualified as full-fledged villages. After the Ottoman conquest, such settlements became known as махала́ (mahalá) - a term used as an administrative unit until the 1980's.
