Swedish

fält n

a field, a (physical) area, an open space in a landscape (for farming or battle)
soldat i fält
a soldier in the field
(mathematics, physics) a field (of vectors, of forces)
a field (of interest), an area, a topic, a sphere (region of activity)
(programming) array, a data structure designed to hold multiple elements

The "field", just like the industry "floor", has connotations of real, practical, down-to-earth activity, as opposed to theoretical studies in a chamber, an academy, or at an engineer's drawing board.
