fältet

The common noun refers to a tract of land used for cultivation, pasture, or sport, or more generally to any open land area. In Swedish, the definite form fältet is used when speaking of a specific field.

The word derives from the noun fält, field, with the definite suffix -et. The concept appears in many compound forms, such as fältarbete (fieldwork) and fältstudier (field studies).

As a toponym, Fältet appears as a place name in several Swedish municipalities and districts, typically indicating a location near fields or farmland. The name is most common in rural or peri-urban contexts.

In science and technology, fältet is used to translate "field" in physics, mathematics, and related disciplines. For example, magnetic field = magnetfält; gravitational field = gravitationsfält. The definite form fältet occurs when referring to a specific field in a given situation.

In culture and literature, Fältet may appear in descriptive passages to evoke rural landscapes or as part of titles and place names. It is not a common standalone proper noun outside of such uses.
