Word origin
The word 'fences' originated from the Middle English 'fens', which means 'a protection, defense, enclosure'. It is related to the Old English 'fenn' and the Old High German 'fenz', both meaning 'mud, dirt, dung'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to a structure used for enclosing or protecting an area.
