Grassplot

/ˈɡrɑːsplɒt/ noun

Definition

A piece of land covered with grass, typically a small grassy area in a garden or park.

Etymology

From Old English 'græs' (grass) combined with 'plot,' which comes from Old Norse 'plotr' (plot of land). The compound emerged in Middle English to describe distinct grassy sections of land.

Kelly Says

Grassplot is one of those charming old English words that perfectly captures a specific thing—a small patch of lawn—that we might now just call 'a bit of grass,' but it reminds us that our ancestors even named the everyday things precisely.
