Word of the Day
agrarian
\uh-GRAIR-ee-un\
adjective

of or relating to fields or lands or their tenure



of, relating to, or characteristic of farmers or their way of life

organized or designed to promote agricultural interests

Example Sentence
Since buying their organic farm three years ago, Ken and Sheila have been gradually adjusting to an agrarian lifestyle. Today, an acre is generally considered to be a unit of land measuring 43,560 square feet (4,047 square meters). Before that standard was set, it's believed that an acre represented a rougher measurement -- the amount of land that could be plowed in one day with a yoke of oxen. Both "acre" and today's word, "agrarian," derive from the Latin noun "ager" and the Greek noun "agros," meaning "field." (You can probably guess that "agriculture" is another descendant.) "Agrarian," first used in English in the 17th century, describes things pertaining to the cultivation of fields, as well as the farmers who cultivate them.

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
