villa
Can someone give me the origin of the word ''villa''. I have something in my mind to compare.
"What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

Origin of "villa"
According to my ancient American Heritage Dictionary that includes a lexicon of PIE roots, villa is derived from "weik-" meaning "clan."
