THRESH Meaning and Definition

  1. 1. Thresh (verb):

    Thresh is a transitive verb that refers to the process of separating the edible grain or seeds from the chaff or husks through beating or pounding. It often involves the use of tools like a flail or a machine called a thresher.

    The word "thresh" originated from the Old English term "threscan," meaning to beat or strike. In agricultural settings, people traditionally used threshing as a method to separate grain from the surrounding inedible parts, allowing for easier processing and consumption. Threshing is commonly associated with crops such as wheat, barley, rice, oats, and other similar grains.

    The action of threshing involves the repeated beating or crushing of harvested plants or crops to loosen and remove the outer husks or hulls, which serve as protective coverings. This process aids in releasing the desired grains or seeds within for further processing, such as winnowing or grinding.

    In modern times, threshing has evolved with the introduction of automated machinery to expedite the process. Mechanical threshers are commonly used in large-scale farming operations, employing rotary blades or other devices to separate grains from the plant stalks or tilling.

    Overall, threshing is an integral part of the agriculture industry, facilitating the extraction of valuable grains or seeds from various crop types, and contributing to the production of staple food items worldwide.

  2. • See Thrash.
    • To beat, as corn, in order to separate the seed from the straw; to beat soundly; to work at thrashing.
