[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Old East Slavic дере́внꙗ (derévnja), from Proto-Slavic *dьrvьňa.
Cognates include Latvian druva (“cornfield, plough-land”) and Lithuanian dirvà (“field, land”), also Lithuanian dirvónas (“fallow field, set-aside land”). Baltic borrowing (with later semantic change from plough-land to homestead and then to hamlet) is likely considering the lack of cognates in other Slavic languages.
