An alternative or archaic spelling of hectare; a unit of area measurement equal to 10,000 square meters.
From French 'hectare,' combining 'hecto-' (hundred) and 'are' (a metric unit of area), standardized in the 19th century metric system.
The hectare is designed perfectly for farmers—it's literally 100 'ares,' and an are is 100 square meters, making it super easy to calculate land sizes in the metric system!
