What does arenation mean?

"Arenation" is an exceedingly rare word that does not appear in major modern English dictionaries, and its meaning cannot be stated with confidence here. It appears to derive from the Latin root arena, meaning "sand," the same root behind familiar words such as "arena" itself and "arenaceous." Words built on this root typically relate to sand, sandy ground, or sandy qualities. Because the term is so obscure and unverified in authoritative lexicographic sources, readers should treat any specific definition encountered elsewhere with caution until it can be confirmed against a reliable dictionary record.

Etymology of arenation

Arenation evidently derives from Latin, built on arena ("sand"), possibly via a Late or Medieval Latin formation with the -atio suffix used for action nouns. It shares this root with "arena" and "arenaceous." Its exact date of first attestation in English is uncertain, and the word is absent from major modern dictionaries.
