Etymology of MEARSTONE

The word "mearstone" does not have a commonly known etymology as it is a relatively obscure and rare term. It is likely a combination of two words: "meare" and "stone".

The term "meare" comes from the Old English word "gemǣre", meaning a boundary or limit. It is related to the Middle English word "mer", which means boundary or limit as well.

"Stone" refers to a solid mineral substance extracted from the ground that is often used for construction or as a monument. The word "stone" has its roots in various Germanic languages and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "stainaz".

Therefore, "mearstone" can be understood as a compound word combining the concept of a boundary or limit ("meare") with the material used to demarcate it ("stone").
