Since your name and domain look Dutch, you might be interested in the etymology: Origin: before 900; Middle English fold, fald, Old English fald, falod; akin to Old Saxon faled pen, enclosure, Middle Low German vālt pen, enclosure, manure heap, Middle Dutch vaelt, vaelde So it’s the same word as “veldt” in Afrikaans, and no doubt to other Dutch words you’ll be familiar with.
