Abstract
"environment" is now the usual name for the main editorial category dealing with news and opinion concerned with humans’ impact on the world around them. The word is also prominent in the names, ambitions, proposed policies and standards of bodies engaged with such issues. Despite the word’s prominence, however, use of "environment" (and derivatives including "environmental" and "environmentalism") is imprecise; and the word is positioned awkwardly among related terms including "surroundings", "ecology" and "natural world".
Drawing on the detailed entry for "environment" in the Oxford English Dictionary, this article examines the history, multiple meanings and uncertainty of meaning of the word, and examines the complex roles it plays in modern debates about environmental protection and policy.
