[Latin suburbium; sub and urbs, a city.] 1. A building without the walls of a city, but near them; or more generally, the parts that lie without the walls, but in the vicinity of a city. The word may signify buildings, streets or territory. We say, a house stands in the suburbs; a garden is situated in the suburbs of London or Paris. 2. The confines; the out part. The suburb of their straw-built citadel.
