Definitions

  1. Partly decayed plant material from wet ground, often dried for fuel.

Word origin

Inherited from Northern Middle English pete (recorded in Latin text as peta), of uncertain origin; perhaps from a Celtic language such as an unattested Pictish or Brythonic source, in turn possibly from Proto-Brythonic *peθ (“portion, segment, piece”); if so, it would be a doublet of piece.

Used in a sentence

  • And let it not displease thee, good Bianca, / For I will love thee ne'er the less, my girl. / A pretty peat!
