The history of Ward
Before **ward** meant a hospital room, it meant sleepless duty: the sergeant-at-the-gate, the watchman crying the hours, the tenant farmer who owed **ward** service to his lord. The name maps the medieval obsession with boundaries — bridges, town gates, private parks — the people trusted to say 'halt' when torches bobbed out of the dark.
