What does moor (as a noun) mean?
- English (US)
It most often refers to an undeveloped piece of land. I have exclusively heard it used to undeveloped land in Europe. (And more specifically in England and, maybe, Ireland/Scotland.)
But it can also refer to a member of specific African Muslim ethnic group. But this isn’t used often, if at all, these days. The only time I hear it in this context is in Othello by William Shakespeare.

It's a landscape that you'll find in the British Isles. It's basically rolling hills with mainly grass and bushes.
The term being used for north Africans I believe has been discontinued however we still use it to describe moorish architecture.
