eddish
- /ˈɛdɪʃ/ UK
Where it comes from
Uncertain; but probably from Middle English eddish (found often in compounds: e.g. eddish-hen (“eddish-hen, quail”)), ultimately from Old English edisc (“an eddish or aftermath; pasture; enclosed pasture, park”), equivalent to ed- + -ish.
noun eddishes · edish · edige · eatage · earsh · edding
-
An aftergrowth of grass (or other plants) which grows after it has been mowed; also, a field of such growth.
The hay was gathered from the fields, and the cattle turned onto the eddish.
