Definition
地头 has several distinct meanings depending on context: literally it refers to the edge of a field (agricultural); in colloquial speech it can mean a destination or the place in question (e.g., 到了地头 'arrived at the place'); and in printing/publishing it denotes the lower margin of a page. Note that the pinyin listed here as 'de' is a data error – the correct pronunciation is dìtóu (or dìtou in the colloquial sense).
