📖 Etymology
Origin: Old English "neahgebur" — near dweller
First known use: 12th century
The term 'neighbour' has its roots in the Old English word 'neahgebur', which combines 'neah' (near) and 'gebur' (dweller). Over time, it evolved into the Middle English 'neighbour' and retained its current form.
