Etymology
Laad is first attested as lanfurt around 825-842. Zaad is first attested as zidwaerde in 1398. Laad is borrowed from West Frisian Laard, and is likely derived from a compound of Old Frisian *lank (“long”) and uurð (“artificial mound used for habitation”). Zaad is borrowed from West Frisian Saard, and is likely derived from a compound of Old Frisian sâtha (“sod of grass”), sâth (“source, well”) or suth (“south”) and werd (“artificial mound used for habitation”). Compare for Zaad Sauwerd.
