Hold the two halves of the word side by side: land and fill. Picture a hollow in the ground being filled — trucks tipping rubbish in, a machine pressing it flat, then a layer of earth going over the top, and another layer of rubbish after that. From that one picture you can reach everything the word does: the ground where it happens, the method itself, the stuff that gets buried, and the act of burying it.
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。
