可以把這個字的兩半擺在一起看：land 加 fill。想像一塊地被填起來。卡車把垃圾倒進去，機器壓平，再蓋上一層土，然後再倒一層。這個字的每一種用法，都可以從這一幅畫面走到：那塊地、這種做法、被埋進去的東西，還有「把它埋掉」這個動作。From the word’s history
Recorded simply as land + fill — filling land back up. The compound is transparent, and it is why one word covers both the place and the practice.
資料只記了一句：land 加 fill，也就是「把地填回去」。這個組合很直白，也正好說明為什麼同一個字既能指那塊地，也能指那種做法。

這種做法、這些東西、這個動作
同一幅畫面，把鏡頭從地面移到動作上。你看的不再是那塊地，而是「埋」這件事，以及被埋進去的東西。最明顯的差別就是冠詞不見了。
