喜樂美語
  1. 1地區；這一帶

    A locality is a small area of a country or a city — this neighbourhood, that town, the land around a station. It is a slightly formal word; in everyday talk people more often say area or this part of town. Police, planners, and scientists like it: the locality of the fire, a plant found only in this locality. Though actually, it does not tell you how big the area is. It might be a few streets or a whole district. What it does tell you is that we are talking about one particular place, not the whole country.

From the word’s history

From French localité, from Late Latin localitas; local + -ity.

來自法文 localité，就是 local 加 -ity。
