Forms: late Middle English whitacur, 1600s– white acre; English regional (south-western) 1700s witacre, 1700s–1800s whittaker, 1800s whitaker.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: white adj., acre n.

Etymology: < white adj. + acre n.Compare earlier use of the compound as a (presumably descriptive) place name and field name; compare e.g. Witacre (1086; now Over and Nether Whitacre, Warwickshire), Whitacr, Whytacre (1296; now High Whitaker, Lancashire), and also the surname shown by Simon de Wit acra (c1180), itself probably reflecting earlier use in a place name. The following apparently shows either an isolated instance of descriptive use or a reference to a field name:1491 in T. Pape Medieval Newcastle-under-Lyme (1928) 177 The gap goinge into the Whitacurs of maister Wodds ground to be the common gappe.

Law.

1. An arbitrary name given to a theoretical portion of land, esp. used to distinguish it from a second, ‘black’ acre, and perhaps a third, ‘green’ acre. Cf. black acre n.The choice of the words ‘white’, ‘black’, and ‘green’ was perhaps influenced by their use to indicate different types of crop, vegetation, or soil.
