turf
Grassy ground layer
Turf is grass and the layer of earth held together by its roots.
A patch of turf can be cut and transplanted as sod.
Artificial turf mimics grass for athletic fields.
Turf also means territory—the area someone controls or claims as their own: gang turf, Don't step on my turf.
To turf someone out (British) is to eject them forcibly.
