Editing Pingewood (section)

==Etymology==
The name ''Pingewood'' is thought to derive from the [[Common Brittonic]] words corresponding to modern Welsh ''penn'' ("head, peak, tip or end") and ''coed'' ("wood"). When [[Old English]] became the dominant language in the area, around the fifth century, Old English-speakers did not understand the meaning and added their own descriptive word ''wood'' on the end. The principal survey of Celtic place-names in England, by [[Richard Coates]] and [[Andrew Breeze]], marks this interpretation as uncertain, however.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.berkshirehistory.com/villages/burghfield.html |first=David Nash |last=Ford |work=Royal Berkshire History |title=Burghfield |year=2004}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Coates |first=Richard |title=Celtic Voices, English Places: Studies of the Celtic Impact on Place-Names in Britain |last2=Breeze |first2=Andrew |publisher=Tyas |year=2000 |isbn=1900289415 |location=Stamford}}.</ref>{{rp|277}}
