Derived from Middle English, coming from Old French 'pasturage', based on the Late Latin 'pasturaticum', ultimately stemming from Latin 'pastus' (pasture, grazing) from 'pascere' (to feed, graze). Historically used since the 14th century to denote both the act of grazing livestock and the land used for that purpose.
