Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ESTOVERS (from the O. Fr. estover, estovoir, a verb used as a substantive in the sense of that which is necessary; the word is of disputed origin; it has been referred to the Lat. stare, to stand, or studere, to desire) , a term, in English law, for the
wood
  which a
tenant
  for life or years may take from the land he holds for repair of his
house
 , the implements of husbandry, and the hedges and fences, and for firewood. The O. Eng. word for estover was bole or boot (literally meaning " good," " profit," the same word as seen in " better "). The various kinds of estovers were thus known as
house
 -bote, cart or plough-bote, hedge or hay-bote, and fire-bote respectively. These rights may, of course, be restricted by express covenants. Copyholders have similar rights over the land they occupy and over the waste of the manor, in which case the rights are known as " Commons of estovers." (See COMMONS.)
