Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventorystubble field.
From Middle English *ersch, from Old English ersċ (“a park, preserve; stubble-field”). The noun earsh (Old English ersc) was used in the south and west of England to describe a stubble field in which wheat, barley or rye had been cut, leaving short stalks or stubble. Noah Webster in Webster's Dictionary (1828) defines earsh as a plowed field, linking it to arrish but also to eadish, which is described as latter pasture of grass that comes after mowing or reaping, called also eargrass, earsh, etch. See also eddish.
