Where this word comes from

From Middle High German nāchbūr, nāchbūre, nāchgebūr, nāchgebūre, from Old High German nāhgibūr, nāhgibūro, from Proto-West Germanic *nāhwagabūrō, from Proto-Germanic *nēhwagabūrô (“neighbour”). Equivalent to nah, nach (“near, next, after”) + Bauer (“dweller, farmer”). The first component underwent pre-cluster shortening, the second was monophthongized from Early Modern German Baur (and then possibly associated with the unrelated suffix -bar).
