囲い（家畜用）
解説 Definition
スコットランドやイングランド北部の方言で、羊などの家畜を囲い込むための柵や囲いを意味する。
A stell is a dialectal term used mainly in Scotland and northern England for a livestock enclosure, especially one built to shelter or gather sheep. Such an enclosure may be formed from stone walls, fencing, or another local barrier.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
北部イングランドやスコットランドの方言語で、羊などを入れる「家畜囲い」。古英語 steall「立つ場所」に由来し、標準語 stall「馬房・仕切られた場所」と結び付けると覚えやすい。stone stell、lead sheep into a stell、repair a stell のように、素材・移動・修理を表す語と組む。
Remember stell as a northern British and Scottish dialect word for a place where livestock stand enclosed. Link it with the more familiar word stall: both go back to the idea of a fixed standing place. Picture a shepherd leading sheep into a stone enclosure before nightfall. Natural combinations include “a stone stell,” “a sheep stell,” “repair the stell,” and “lead the sheep into the stell.” Unlike pen, which is widely used throughout English, stell is regional and may be unfamiliar outside rural or historical contexts in Scotland and northern England.

stell の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 steall（場所、立ち位置）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *stallaz（立つ場所）から派生。スコットランド方言で家畜を囲い込む石垣の囲いを指す。関連語: stall（馬房・売り場）、install（据え付ける）。「動物が立つ定位置」が原義。
Stell descends from Old English steall, meaning a place, position, or standing place. It belongs to a Germanic group represented by words such as English stall, all connected with the idea of standing or occupying a fixed position. In Scots and northern English usage, the form developed a specialized rural sense: an enclosure or shelter where sheep and other livestock could be gathered. Stone-built examples are particularly associated with upland farming landscapes.
