Etymology
Homesteading comes from the word homestead, made of home and stead meaning 'place', so it literally means a 'home-place'. A helpful way to remember modern homesteading is to think of making that 'home-place' self-sufficient by growing food and keeping animals, which is why the word means living independently on your land.
