Line 2: {{For\|the municipality in Croatia\|Okrug, Croatia}} An '''''okrug'''{{efn\|{{lang-bg\|окръг\|okrag}}, {{IPA-bg\|ˈɔkrɐk\|pron}}; {{lang-ru\|о́круг\|ókrug}}; {{lang-sr\|округ\|okrug}}, {{IPA-sr\|ôkruːɡ\|pron}}; {{lang-uk\|о́круг\|о́kruh}}; {{lang-be\|акруга\|akruha}}; {{lang-pl\|[[okręg]]}}; {{lang-ab\|оқрҿс}}; {{lang-mhr\|йырвел}}, {{small\|[[Romanization\|romanized]]:}} {{transl\|mhr\|jyrvel}}}}'' is a type of [[administrative division]] in some [[~~Slavs~~Slavic languages\|Slavic]]-speaking states. The word ''okrug'' is a [[loanword]] in English,<ref>[[Oxford English Dictionary]] on CD-ROM, Second Edition. Entry on ''okrug''. Oxford University Press, 2002</ref> alternatively translated as ''[[area]]'', ''[[district]]'', or ''[[region]]''. Etymologically, ''okrug'' literally means '[[Circuit (administrative division)\|circuit]]', derived from Proto-Slavic {{Lang\|sla-x-proto\|okrǫgъ}}, in turn from {{Lang\|sla-x-proto\|ob-}} "around" + {{Lang\|sla-x-proto\|*krǫgъ}} "circle". In meaning, the word is similar to the [[German language\|German]] term ''[[Bezirk]]'' or ''[[Kreis]]'' ('[[district]]') and the French word ''[[arrondissement]]''; all of which refer to something "encircled" or "surrounded".
