Sawwrest is a rare English word that means "one who harrows land with a saw-like harrow." Its unique spelling is due to the historical development of the word, which can be explained through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription of its pronunciation, /sɔːˈrɛst/. The first syllable "saw" is pronounced like the tool and the second syllable "rest" is pronounced with a long "e" sound. The double "w" in the middle of the word likely represents a historical spelling tendency to represent the long "o" sound with "oo" and the long "a" sound with "aw."
