Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of the adjectives 'small' (from Old English smæl) and 'holding' (from the verb hold, denoting land held or occupied). The term gained prominence in British agriculture and legislation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe plots of agricultural land smaller than a farm but large enough to sustain a family or provide supplementary income.
