Yosef Karo, Translation:Shulchan Aruch — Orach Chaim 345…
“ Paragraph 1 - There are four domains on Shabbat: the private domain, the public domain, the karmelit (meaning soft brittle: not wet or dry but in betweenץ Similarly this is not the private domain because it has no walls, but it is not the public domain as it is not similar to the flags of the wilderness because it's not a place where many people walk. Rash"i.) and a place of exemption. ”
