A title of nobility originally based on the medieval Slavic title of voevoda, meaning "cavalry commander". In some countries, a voivode was a governor or a military commander, often of a province or a frontier region.
A voivodeship is a military or administrative division in some European countries, typically found in Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland, Romania, and Ukraine. It is often a province or a region, governed by a voivode (or woiwode), who is usually a political appointee of the national government. The term "voivodeship" is derived from the Polish and Slavic term "województwo," which means "duchy" or "province."
Vol-au-vents are small, hollow pastry cups, typically made from puff pastry, that are used to hold a variety of sweet or savory fillings. The term "vol-au-vent" translates to "flight in the wind" in French, which refers to the airy, light texture of the pastry. They are often served as an appetizer or canape in French cuisine.
Volapük is a constructed international auxiliary language created in the late 19th century by Johann Heinrich Christoph Schleyer, a German lawyer and businessman. "Volapük" is a word invented by Schleyer himself, from the German words "vol" (world), "a" (of, to) and "pük" (speak); hence it means "world speech" or "universal speech".
