noun
Refers to an open field or plain, often with a slightly literary or set-phrase feel compared with more everyday words like 野原 or 原っぱ.

noun, used as a prefix
wild; field-growing; living in the wild
Prefix used before animal or plant names to mean wild or naturally growing, as opposed to cultivated, domestic, or house-kept.

When I was a child, I picked wild strawberries in the mountains.
畑のそばで野うさぎを見かけた。

A more everyday noun for an open field or grassy area; 野 by itself can sound more literary or appear in compounds.
Means a cultivated field or vegetable plot, while 野 refers to open country or wild, uncultivated nature.
A noun or no-adjective meaning wildness or being wild; 野 as a prefix attaches directly to animal and plant names.
Native Japanese の meaning a field or plain is conventionally written with 野. 埜 is a rare variant spelling; the historical derivation beyond this is uncertain.
