English

Etymology

From Middle English gardyn, garden, from Anglo-Norman gardin, from Frankish *gardo (“fenced-in yard, garden”), from Proto-Germanic *gardô, *gardaz, whence also inherited English yard.

The final -in derives either from the Frankish inflected form *gardin or is a Romance diminutive of *gard (compare Old French jart alongside jardin, Medieval Latin gardinus).
