Word "field" meaning: piece of land with a fence or hedge round it, where crops grow or animals feed.
Example: The sheep are grazing in the field.
Word etymology:
Was originally the Anglo-Saxon feld, a place from which the trees had been felled (cut down), or cleared. The origin is interesting, for the reader, turning over in his mind the large number of place-names with the suffix field or feld, can gain a good idea of the extent to which Britain was at one time forest land.
Sheffield, Chesterfield, Earlsfield, are examples.
