See bylaw on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈbaɪ.lɔː/ [UK], /ˈbaɪ.lɔ/ [US], /ˈbaɪ.lɑ/ [cot-caught-merger] Forms: bylaws [plural]
Etymology: From Middle English bylawe, bilawe, partly from Old English bīlage (“bylaw”) and partly from a variant of Middle English byrelawe, birlawe, from Old Norse býjar (“town's; settlement's”) + lǫg (“laws; jurisdiction”). Byrlaw is attested earlier in English but is unattested in Old Norse and the cognates in Scandinavian languages follow the development of bylaw: Danish bylov (“municipal law”), Swedish bylag and byalag.
