A homestead or dwelling place identified by or associated with the use or making of girdles.
Compound of girdle + stead (Old English stede meaning place or location), a historically used English place-name element, though this specific term is archaic.
Place names like '-stead' are linguistic fossils showing where people worked—'girdlestead' would have marked a settlement where girdle-makers operated, helping medieval people navigate their world.
