A lea is a pasture; a field covered with grass or herbage and suitable for grazing by livestock.
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea,(Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray)
Lea is also a unit of length of thread or yarn. And LEA is an abbreviation for lower extremity amputation or amputee.
