Description and Definition:

 

A "national border" refers to the line or boundary separating one country from another. It is a geopolitical demarcation where the jurisdiction, laws, and regulations of one nation end, and those of another begin. National borders can be marked by natural features like rivers and mountains, or they can be entirely arbitrary lines drawn on a map. These borders are significant for controlling immigration, trade, and national security.

 

 

Etymology and Historical Context:

 

The concept of national borders has evolved over centuries. The word "national" originates from the late Middle English (in the sense 'native'), from Old French 'national' (from Latin 'nationalis'), meaning 'of or relating to a people, nation, or country.' The word "border" comes from Old French 'bordure,' from 'bord,' meaning 'edge, brink, margin.' Historically, the establishment of national borders has been influenced by wars, treaties, and colonialism, often changing with the rise and fall of empires and states.
