different between bylaw vs mandate
bylaw
English
Alternative forms
- byrlaw (obsolete)
- by-law
- bye-law, byelaw
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.
