prettygoodwordslade (SLAYD) - n., (Eng. dialect) an open space between banks (a small valley) or woods (a glade).
Also sometimes a deeper valley like a ravine, and sometimes the hillside itself, and sometimes a peat-spade or a part of a plow. This one dates back to Old English slæd, where it had both the valley and glade senses, now surviving only in a few regional dialects of England.
That wraps up the week of S words. Onward to next week!
