обисце

Pannonian Rusyn

Etymology

Possibly from обисц (obisc, “to go around”) +‎ -е (-e). Cognate with Carpathian Rusyn обыстя (obŷstja, “courtyard; estate; homestead”) and possibly Polish obejście (“croft”). Semantically, perhaps a semantic shift from "thing that surrounds" → "courtyard" → "croft" → "dwelling next to croft" → "dwelling" → "household".
