Swedish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Old Swedish fält, from Middle Low German velt, from Old Saxon feld, from Proto-West Germanic *felþu, cognate with Old English feld, English field, also (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) related to fjäll.

  1. a field, a (physical) area, an open space in a landscape (for farming or battle)
    soldat i fält

  3. a field (of interest), an area, a topic, a sphere (region of activity)
