hiden.²

Brit.

/hʌɪd/, U.S.

/haɪd/

Forms: Old English hígid, hígd, híd, hýd, Old English–1800s hyde, Old English– hide.

Etymology: Old English híd strong feminine, earlier hígid , apparently < *híwid , derivative of híw- , híg- , household, family: compare hewe n. The suffix is obscure. In the Latin text of Beda, and elsewhere, expressed by familia, for which in the Old English translation híwisc and híwscipe, derivatives of híw- family, interchange with híd.

Obsolete exc. Historical.

a. A measure of land in Old English times, continued also for some time after the Norman Conquest, varying in extent with the nature of the ground, etc.: primarily, the amount considered adequate for the support of one free family with its dependants; at an early date defined as being as much land as could be tilled with one plough in a year. See carucate n.The question of the extent of the hide has been much controverted. The general conclusion appears to be that it was normally = 120 acres; but the size of the acre itself varied. See Maitland, Domesday & Beyond.

This entry has not yet been fully updated (first published 1898; most recently modified version published online March 2022). hiden.² Brit. /hʌɪd/, U.S. /haɪd/ Forms: Old English hígid, hígd, híd, hýd, Old English–1800s hyde, Old English– hide. Etymology: Old English híd strong feminine, earlier hígid , apparently < híwid , derivative of híw-* , híg- , household, family: compare hewe n. The suffix is obscure. In the Latin text of Beda, and elsewhere, expressed by familia, for which in the Old English translation híwisc and híwscipe, derivatives of híw- family, interchange with híd. Obsolete exc. Historical. 1. a. A measure of land in Old English times, continued also for some time after the Norman Conquest, varying in extent with the nature of the ground, etc.: primarily, the amount considered adequate for the support of one free family with its dependants; at an early date defined as being as much land as could be tilled with one plough in a year. See carucate n.The question of the extent of the hide has been much controverted. The general conclusion appears to be that it was normally = 120 acres; but the size of the acre itself varied.
