Origin

Early 17th century (denoting the territory under the jurisdiction of a feudal lord): from French, from medieval Latin districtus '(territory of) jurisdiction', from Latin distringere 'draw apart'.

A district was originally the territory under the jurisdiction of a feudal lord. The word is from French, from medieval Latin districtus which meant ‘the constraining and restraining of offenders’ indicating the right to administer justice in a given area. It goes back to Latin distringere ‘hinder, detain’, found also in distress (Middle English), and its shortened form stress (Middle English).
