headlandn.

Brit.

/ˈhɛdlənd/, U.S.

/ˈhɛdlənd/,

/ˈhɛdˌlænd/

Forms: see head n.¹ and land n.¹; also English regional 1800s hedlen (Dorset), 1800s– addlun (Gloucestershire), 1800s– haddlin (Gloucestershire), 1800s– hedlun (Isle of Wight), 1800s– heeadlin (Cumberland), 1800s– heedlin (Cumberland).

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: head n.¹, land n.¹

Etymology: < head n.¹ + land n.¹ With sense 1 compare Anglo-Norman hevedlaunde (13th cent. or earlier), post-classical Latin hevedlanda , hevedlonda , hevetlanda , hevetlonda , haddelonda (from c1200 in British sources), both in the same sense and ultimately < English. Compare also Old English hēafodæcer , in the same sense ( < head n.¹ + acre n.). Compare head n.¹ 39a. With sense 2 compare earlier head n.¹ 40a.The word occurs frequently as a boundary marker in Anglo-Saxon charters; compare quot. OE² at sense 1. It also occurs as a field name in Middle English (e.g. Hefedlant , Gloucestershire (a1243), Longhadlond , Gloucestershire (13th cent.), The Havedlond , Tilehurst, Berkshire (1462), etc.), and such attestations are sometimes difficult to distinguish from lexical use of the word (in sense 1). It has been suggested that the early surname John de Hevedlond (1275 in a Suffolk source) perhaps implies earlier currency of the word in sense 2.

1. Agriculture. (Each of) the strips of land at the end of a ploughed field, left for convenience in turning the plough at the end of the furrows or near the border. In early use also: †a boundary formed by this; cf. headroom n. (obsolete).In some districts the headland is left only at the two ends of the ridges or ‘lands’ (see land n.¹ 7), but in others it runs parallel to the fence round all sides of the field. It is typically ploughed last, with furrows parallel to the fence, crossing the ends of the regular furrows of the field at right angles.In quot. OE¹ rendering the plural of classical Latin līmes (see limit n.), ult. reflecting Isidore Origines 15. 14. 2 (on field boundaries).
