Where this word comes from

From northern Middle High German wīchbilde (14th c., earlier also wīcbilde), from Middle Low German wîkbelde (12th c.). The first part of the compound is equivalent to Old High German wīh, from Proto-West Germanic *wīk, from Latin vīcus. The second part is of uncertain origin, but probably from a word for “law”, related with German billig (“appropriate”), Unbill (“injustice”); such that Weichbild originally referred to the areas where the municipal law of a city was in effect.
