The purlieus of a place are the streets and bits of land in and around it — not the famous centre, but the neighbourhood that belongs to it. You almost always meet it in the plural, and it sounds a little old or . A writer might say “in the purlieus of the university” and mean the cafés, side streets, and quiet blocks that live off that place. It is not a sharp border. It is more like “this place and the land that hangs around it.” People do not say it at the night market; they say nearby or around here. You will meet it in novels and in a certain kind of careful writing. It started as a legal word for land around a royal forest; later people used it for the area around any place.
附近一帶、周遭（文雅，多用複數）
組成It does not split into living English pieces. It started as a legal word for the land around a royal forest. The French shape behind it probably comes from the idea of walking those bounds. Later it just meant the area around any place.
