FENCE
What fence means
A barrier made of wood, metal, or other material erected around a property to mark boundaries, provide security, or prevent entry or escape.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *fence*, a shortened form of *defence*. This came through Old French *defendre* (to defend, forbid), from Latin *defendere* (to ward off), built from *de-* (away) and *fendere* (to strike or push). The noun shifted meaning from "defense" or "protection" to the physical barrier itself—the structure that defends or encloses a space.
