THRESHED Meaning and
Definition
-
Threshed is the past tense and past participle of the verb "thresh". Threshing refers to the action of separating grain or seeds from the husks or outer coverings, typically using a tool or machine. Threshing is an essential step in the process of harvesting crops such as wheat, rice, barley, or oats.
When a crop is ready to be harvested, it is cut and bundled into sheaves or harvested in other ways depending on the crop type. After this initial step, the next step is to thresh the harvested crop. Traditionally, threshing involved beating the crop with a flail or using animals to trample over it. Nowadays, threshing machines are commonly used, which mechanically separate the kernels or seeds from the rest of the plant material.
Threshing is crucial as it allows for the extraction of valuable grains or seeds that can then be used for various purposes such as producing food, seeds for future crops, or animal feed. The separated husks, straw, or chaff can also have different uses, such as animal bedding or as organic material for composting.
In summary, "threshed" describes the completion of the process of separating grain or seeds from the outer coverings by employing tools, machines, or natural means.
