Other forms: neighbors
A neighbor is the person who lives next door, or a few doors along. The one who takes your parcel in, whose music comes through the wall, whose car is always in your space.
British English spells it neighbour and American English neighbor; the sound is the same. It reaches past houses: countries that share a border are neighbours, and at a dinner table your neighbour is whoever sits beside you. The adjective is neighbouring — a neighbouring village, a neighbouring country — and the area you live in is your neighbourhood. Neighbourly means friendly and helpful in the way a good neighbour is. The old phrase love thy neighbour uses the widest sense of all: anyone at all.
