The word village comes from the Latin word villa. It has existed in the English language since the Middle Ages. An Anglo saxon term that existed before English imported a large number of French words was wic, which meant dwelling place or dairy farm; it still exists as part of place names, such as Warwick.

Answer: It depends who was speaking. An Anglo-Norman nobleman would call a village a vilette, vilee, vilage, demi or chastel.

An English person speaking Middle English called it a village, villege or villachis.

In Cornwall everyone spoke Kernowek and called a village tref or drea.

On the Isle of Man (part of England) people spoke Manx and called a village balley beg or balley beg çheerey.

Did Germans come here to work the fields?

Yes, Germans came to America to work in the fields as well as to own their own farms. That is why almost everyone came to America before the Revolutionary war. The first Germans came when William Penn sold Farmland to a number of Germans. Some owned farms. Far more came to work the fields. A large number of German troops surrendered during the Revolutionary War and were sent to work in the fields. After a number of years, they obtained their own farms. They did not leave the farms until the industrial revolution.
