Where this word comes from
From Proto-Finnic *kunta (compare Estonian -kond), perhaps from Proto-Finno-Permic *kunta (compare Northern Sami goddi, Moksha кондя (kondä)); see the Proto-Finnic entry for more. The sense “municipality, commune” is based on an earlier sense “province” (= lääni, attested in 1776). In general, this word was originally rare on its own, and in many of the related Finnic languages, it occurs only as the latter part in compounds.
