prairie
Flat grassy plain
A prairie is a large, flat or gently rolling expanse of grassland, especially in North America.
The term typically evokes the Great Plains—treeless terrain once covered in native grasses and wildflowers: We drove through miles of open prairie.
Prairie can modify related things: prairie dog, prairie schooner, prairie fire.
