A place where foxes live or are commonly found, such as a wooded area; or wood/timber from a fox-colored tree.
Compound of 'fox' and 'wood' (both Old English elements). Can refer to either a habitat location ('a wood of foxes') or, less commonly, to wood with fox-colored appearance.
Medieval landowners would specifically designate 'foxwood' on estate maps—not because of the color, but because foxes lived there, making it valuable hunting territory and a prime location for fox trappers setting their snares.
