/ˈkoʊt.set.lænd/ noun

Definition

Etymology

From 'cotset' + 'land.' A compound word combining a settlement term with the common English word for terrain or territory.

Kelly Says

Place names ending in '-land' reveal ownership and use patterns—'cotsetland' tells us this was land organized for cottage dwellers, similar to how 'England' means the land of the Angles, using the same naming logic.
