The word "lawn" originates from the Middle English launde, meaning "glade or open space in a forest," borrowed from Old French lande ("heath, moor"). Its deeper roots trace back to the Celtic landā ("open land"), reflecting a natural clearing rather than cultivated grass. By the 16th century, "lawn" evolved to specifically denote managed grassy areas, influenced by the English landscaping tradition. The shift from wild clearings to manicured turf highlights cultural changes in land use and aesthetics.
