acre


Значение термина acre в knolik


acre - Acre (Gr. agros, field)
acre - British imperial land measure containing 4,840 sq. yds. It is divided into four roods. Originally it was the amount of land which a yoke of oxen could plough in a day, and consequently its extent varied. It is now fixed by an Act of Parliament, but local acres, generally smaller in size than the statute acre, still survive in Scotland, Ireland, and parts of England. The word, variants of which are found in most European languages, is occasionally used to denote open ground generally or a particular piece, e.g. the familiar God's acre. See Weights and Measures.
