From village + -er. village comes from Middle English village, from Old French village, from Latin vīllāticus, ultimately from Latin villa (English villa). Broadly overtook Old English wic#Noun, þorp#Noun_3, and ham#Noun_18. The Philippine sense is due to its frequent use in the names of gated communities.
