'Field,' by metonymy, is occasionally used in sixteenth century literature as synonymous with 'battle' or 'order of battle.'

Cf., too, 'field' as a hunting term.] [Note 81: /part:/ distribute. A specific meaning of 'part' used to be 'share one with another.' This sense is now obsolete or provincial.] INDEX I.
