单词 broad land
释义

broad landn.1

Forms: see broad adj.1 and n.1 and land n.1
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: broad adj.1, land n.1
Etymology: < broad adj.1 + land n.1Compare earlier evidence from Middle English field names, place names, and topographical surnames, as e.g. Marger' atte Brodelonde (1296, Sussex), le Brodeland (field name) Cumnor, Berkshire (1316), Brodelonde (field name) Todber, Dorset (1339; now Broadland), le Bradlond (field name) Tranmere, Cheshire (1340), although it is difficult to determine whether individual names are to be taken as implying earlier currency of this compound in the specific sense below rather than showing ad hoc combinations of the same two elements to designate a wide piece of land.
Obsolete.
A wide strip of ploughed land, typically one of a series within a field divided by water-furrows; cf. land n.1 7.See note in etymology on early place-name evidence.
