Farmery

/ˈfɑːrmərɪ/ noun

Definition

A farm or group of farm buildings collectively; the practice of farming or agricultural operations.

Etymology

From 'farm' + '-ery' suffix (meaning 'place where something is done' or 'collection of'). Similar to 'bakery' (place where baking happens), farmery directly associates a location with the activity performed there.

Kelly Says

The '-ery' suffix creates a satisfying parallel in English: bakery, brewery, pottery, and farmery all follow the same pattern of turning verbs into place-names. It's a productive linguistic pattern that English speakers immediately understand even for new words.
