  • A frontier is a political and geographical term referring to areas near or beyond a boundary. 'Frontier' was borrowed into English from French in the 15th century, with the meaning "borderland"--the region of a country that fronts on another country. The use of "frontier" to mean "a region at the edge of a settled area" is a special North American development.
