►¹tián ​田 {B} n. ①field; farmland ②Surname

The Shuōwén Seal form of 田 tián ‘field/land’ is said to combine ​囗 wéi ‘enclosure’ (enclosed field/garden), with ​十 depicting crisscrossing footpaths (​阡​陌); the field is partitioned/parceled into garden plots (cf. ​井田; ​佃: ​耕田), and cultivated with fruit trees or grain planted in regularly-spaced/arranged columns/rows (cf. ​制田).
    Note: Received SW texts gloss 田 paronomastically as ​陈/​陳(​𨻰), later emended to ​敶 chén ‘arrange/order’ (DYC), since ​敶 is glossed as ​列 in SW; but ​陈/​陳 chén (anc. place name) was long used for ​陈/​陳 chén ‘arrange/order’ (as it is today), cf. ​陈 (​陈​列).
