Definition of environs

The word "environs" is derived from the Old French word "enviroun" (meaning "surroundings"), which in turn comes from the Latin word "in" (meaning "in") and "virescens" (meaning "green" or "growing"). The word "environs" first appeared in the Middle English language in the 14th century to describe the surroundings or vicinity of a place or region. In its most basic sense, "environs" refers to the area or vicinity that surrounds or is adjacent to a place or region. It can also be used to describe the physical or environmental characteristics of a place or region, particularly in relation to its surroundings or vicinity. In modern English, the word "environs" is often used to describe the area or vicinity that surrounds or is adjacent to a place or region, particularly in relation to its physical or environmental characteristics. This usage is common in many different contexts, from geography and urban planning to literature and literature criticism, where it is used to describe the area or vicinity that surrounds or is adjacent to a place or region, particularly in relation to its physical or environmental characteristics. In computing and information technology, the term "environs" is sometimes used to describe the physical or environmental characteristics of a computer system or network, particularly in relation to its surroundings or vicinity. This usage is less common than the more traditional usage, but it is still used in some contexts, particularly in relation to computer networking and communication protocols, where it is used to describe the physical or environmental characteristics of a computer system or network, particularly in relation to its surroundings or vicinity. In all of these contexts, the word "environs" is used to describe the area or vicinity that surrounds or is adjacent to a place or region, particularly in relation to its physical or environmental characteristics.
