Fields

Areas for crops

Fields is the plural of field—open areas of land, especially for agriculture or sports: wheat fields, soccer fields.

Fields also names domains of study or work: the fields of medicine and law.

In physics and computing, fields are regions where forces act or spaces where data is entered.
