Acre
Ancient Crusader stronghold
Acre is a unit of land measurement equal to 43,560 square feet, roughly the size of a football field without the end zones.
The word appears constantly in real estate and agriculture: a forty-acre farm, five acres of woodland.
In the plural, acres often suggests vast expanses: acres of parking lots, acres of red tape. (Capitalized Acre is a city in Israel.)
