The word "byplace" has two possible etymologies:
1. The word "byplace" originated from the Old English word "biglapan" or "biglippian", which meant "to deceive" or "to lead astray". Over time, the word evolved into "byplacian" or "bīplæcan", which meant "to deceive, lead astray, or seduce". This Old English word eventually developed into the modern term "byplace", which refers to a secluded or remote place off the main road. The association of deception or being led astray may stem from the idea of being diverted from the usual or expected path.
2. Another possible origin is from the combination of the prefix "by-" and the word "place". In this context, the prefix "by-" is derived from Old English "bi-" or "be-", which means "near" or "secondary".
