What does EJIDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
Communal farmland in Mexico, held and worked under a system granted or recognised by the state.
An ejido is not privately owned in the ordinary sense: the land belongs to a community of farmers who received it under Mexican agrarian reform and who work individual plots while sharing common resources such as pasture and woodland. The system dates from the redistribution of large estates after the Mexican Revolution and remained central to rural land tenure for most of the twentieth century. The word is a loan from Spanish and appears in English mainly in writing about Mexican history, agriculture and land law.
