area

Surface extent measure

Area is the extent of a surface, measured in square units: The area of the room is 200 square feet.

More loosely, an area is any defined space or region: a residential area, the area around the wound.

Area extends to abstract domains: areas of expertise, area of concern.

In telecommunications, an area code identifies a geographic region for phone numbers.
