a lawn, meadow
Where this word comes from
In sense 1, possibly an altered version of arbutus (“strawberry tree”) (compare Portuguese êrvedo), likely influenced by herba (“grass”), which Isidore cites in his explanation. Perhaps compare also Italian erbato and Spanish servato (“sulphurwort, hog fennel (Peucedanum officinale)”). The sense "lawn", given by Gaffiot and by Gustav Friedrich Hildebrand's Glossarium and possibly attested by a gloss, may represent a second lexeme, as it does not fit with Isidore's usage. A meaning "lawn" would make sense as a variant spelling of herbētum from herba (“grass”) + -ētum (suffix forming nouns of place from plant names) (compare Catalan herbei). Compare also herbitium and herbārium.
