Etymology of ARRASTRE

The word "arrastre" is of Spanish origin. It comes from the verb "arrastrar", which means "to drag" or "to pull". In Spanish, "arrastre" specifically refers to the dragging or pulling of heavy objects, and the term was eventually adopted into English to refer to a specific method of mining. An arrastre is a primitive type of milling and ore extraction process where a large stone or metal plate was dragged across the ground, crushing the ore beneath it. This technique was commonly used during the early days of mining in the American West, particularly in California during the Gold Rush era.
