Etymology

The word 'fence' comes from the Middle English term 'fens,' which itself derived from the Old French word 'defens' meaning 'defense' or 'protection.' This lineage points to its original connotation of providing a defensive barrier. Historically, the use of fences dates back to ancient civilizations where they were used to delineate property, protect crops, and keep domesticated animals safe. The idea of creating a physical barrier evolved over time, with different cultures developing various styles of fencing suited to their needs and environments. In modern times, the advent of different materials and construction techniques has expanded the types of fences available, ranging from simple wooden pickets to high-tech electric fences. As a word, 'fence' has expanded beyond physical barriers, influencing sports terminology and metaphorical usage in language.
