Henneries

/ˈhɛnəriz/ noun

Definition

Plural of hennery; places where hens are kept, particularly chicken coops or poultry houses.

Etymology

From 'hen' (Old English 'henn') + '-ery' (suffix meaning place where something is kept or done). The '-ery' suffix creates nouns for locations, as in 'bakery' or 'brewery'.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ery' is brilliant for creating location words—just like a 'bakery' is where bakers work and a 'brewery' is where beer is made, a 'hennery' is clearly where hens are kept, making it easy to understand even if you've never heard the word.
