Field
FIELD, n.
1. A piece of land inclosed for tillage or pasture; any part of a farm, except the garden and appurtenances of the mansion; properly land not covered with wood, and more strictly applicable to tillage land than to mowing land, which is often called meadow.

2. Ground not inclosed.

We say, the field of battle; these veterans are excellent soldiers in the field.
4. A battle; action in the field.

5. To keep the field, is to keep the campaign open; to live in tents, or to be in a state of active operations. At the approach of cold weather, the troops, unable to keep the field, were ordered into winter quarters.
6. A wide expanse.
Ask of yonder argent fields above.
7. Open space for action or operation; compass; extent. This subject opens a wide field for contemplation.
