TURFS Meaning and
Definition
-
Turfs, also known as turfgrass or sod, refers to a surface layer of soil filled with a mat of dense grass and its underlying roots. Turfs are primarily used in landscaping and sports field construction to create a stable and visually appealing surface for recreational and aesthetic purposes.
The primary characteristic of turfs is their ability to create a uniform and level surface, making them suitable for various activities such as lawn areas, parks, golf courses, football fields, and tennis courts, among others. Turfs are typically grown in a specialized nursery until they reach a desired thickness and then are harvested, cut into rolls or squares, and transported to the desired location for installation.
Their advantages over other ground cover options include a quick installation process and an instantaneous transformation of the landscape or playing field. Turfs also help control soil erosion, reduce heat reflection, and provide a safe and comfortable playing surface. They require regular maintenance such as mowing, watering, fertilizing, and occasional aerating to sustain their lush appearance and healthy growth.
In casual parlance, "turfs" can also refer to a specific territory or area that an individual or group claims ownership or control over, typically in an urban or street context. This usage often denotes a degree of territoriality or exclusivity within a community.
Common Misspellings for TURFS
Etymology of TURFS
The word "turfs" has its origins in the Old English "turf" or "torf", which referred to a lump or clod of earth. The term comes from the Proto-Germanic word "torfa", which means "turf" or "peat". It is related to the Old Norse word "torf", the Middle Low German word "torf", and the Middle Dutch word "torf". All these words ultimately come from the Proto-Indo-European root "terə", meaning "dry", which is also the ancestor of words like "dry" and "thirst". Over time, "turf" came to be used specifically for pieces of grass and soil, often used for covering or protecting the ground, leading to the plural form "turfs".
