LAAGER Meaning and
Definition
-
Laager is a noun that refers to a temporary defensive enclosure or circle formed by a group of people, usually in a military or survival context. Its origin can be traced back to the Afrikaans language, derived from the Dutch word "leger" meaning "camp" or "army." A laager is typically formed by positioning vehicles, wagons, or other objects in a circular or semicircular formation, creating a protective barrier against potential threats.
The purpose of a laager is to provide security and protection for the individuals or group inside, especially in vulnerable situations such as during a military campaign or in times of conflict. Laagers can be found in various contexts, including military camps, colonial settlements, expeditionary trips, or even when individuals are stranded in the wilderness. The circular formation ensures that all members of the laager have a clear line of sight and can defend against threats from any direction.
Furthermore, laagers often serve as a meeting place for discussions, coordination, or recreational activities within the enclosed space. They can also function as a place of shelter, as individuals seek refuge within the laager from external dangers, harsh weather conditions, or hostile environments.
In summary, a laager is a temporary defensive enclosure or circular formation created by a group of people primarily for protection against potential threats. It is often used in military or survival situations and serves as a meeting point, shelter, and safe haven for those within.

Etymology of LAAGER
The word "laager" has its origins in the Dutch language. It is derived from the Dutch word "leger", meaning an army or military camp. The Dutch term was borrowed into Afrikaans, an offshoot of Dutch spoken in South Africa, where it took on the form "laager".
In its original usage, "laager" referred to a defensive camp or circle formed by a group of wagons with their sides facing outwards, creating a protective enclosure. This term gained prominence during the colonization of South Africa by the Dutch, particularly during conflicts with indigenous populations and later during the Anglo-Boer War.
The etymology of "laager" ultimately traces back to the Old High German word "legar" and Middle Dutch word "legher", both of which had similar meanings related to an army or camp.
