Etymology

From Middle English bylawe, bilawe, partly from Old English b?lage (bylaw) and partly from a variant of Middle English byrelawe, birlawe, from Old Norse býjar (town's; settlement's) + l?g (laws; jurisdiction). Byrlaw is attested earlier in English but is unattested in Old Norse and the cognates in Scandinavian languages follow the development of bylaw: Danish bylov (municipal law), Swedish bylag and byalag.
