acre

Farm plot measure

An acre is a unit of land area 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.

Figuratively, acres can mean a large expanse: acres of parking lot, acres of bare skin.
