Origin

Old English æcer (denoting the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plough in a day), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch akker and German Acker 'field', from an Indo-European root shared by Sanskrit ajra 'field', Latin ager, and Greek agros.

acorn from Old English:
An Old English word, related to acre (Old English) and meaning ‘fruit of the open land or forest’. It was later applied to any fruit, then subsequently restricted to the most important fruit produced by the forest, the acorn. The spelling of the word, originally aecern, evolved into its modern form because people thought the word must have something to do with oak and corn.
