Etymology
From de gmh vrīthof, from de goh frīthof, derived from goh frīten to enclose + goh Hof yard. In Early Modern German, the word came to be associated with the distantly related de Frieden peace, probably at first through interaction of diphthongising and non-diphthongising dialects, but then leading to semantic remotivation as “place of final peace”. Cognate with archaic nl vrijthof.
