Relating to or suitable for plowing; characteristic of or pertaining to tilled or arable land.
From Latin 'aratorius,' derived from 'arare' (to plow) with the adjectival suffix '-ory.' This term is primarily found in historical and legal texts discussing land classifications and agricultural practices.
The term 'aratory' reveals an older world where soil type and plowability determined the entire legal and economic status of land—a three-furrow field 'aratory' land was literally more valuable than rocky ground.
