What is meant by a "rood"?
Rood is a unit of area in the imperial system. It is used widely in surveying. Note that the term "rod" can be used instead of "rood" to express the same area unit.
Rood can be easily converted into acre as a quarter of an acre equals the area of 1 rood wide and 40 roods long.
