The word "cornfield" is a straightforward compound of "corn" (from Old English "corn," meaning grain or cereal crop) and "field" (from Old English "feld," meaning open land). Historically, "corn" in British English referred to any cereal crop (e.g., wheat, barley), while in American English, it specifically denotes maize. The term reflects agricultural practices where cultivated land ("field") is dedicated to growing grain ("corn").
