Dietsveld

Dutch

Etymology

Attested as Dietsveld in 1935. Difficult to interpret due to a paucity of old attestations. Potentially a compound of duist (“slender meadow foxtail, Alopecurus myosuroides”) and veld (“field”). The first element is unlikely to be Diets (“Dutch, continental Germanic”).

Pronunciation
  • Hyphenation: Diets‧veld

Proper noun

Dietsveld n

  1. A neighbourhood of Haarlem, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.
