vefsíða

Icelandic

Etymology

From vefur (web) + síða (page).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈvɛfsi(ː)ða/

Noun

vefsíða f (genitive singular vefsíðu, nominative plural vefsíður)

  1. website
  2. (now less common) web page

Usage notes

Vefsíða originally only referred to a web page, but due to influence from the English false friend website, the word acquired that meaning. The same development occurred in Danish where hjemmeside (literally home page) acquired the meaning of website.
