    [Noun]  | "harrow" 


    1: a cultivating tool set with spikes, teeth, or disks and used primarily for breaking up and smoothing the soil


    Origin: 14th century ;

     Middle English harewe, harwe, harow, of uncertain origin;

      * Note : The Oxford English Dictionary, first edition, suggests inheritance from an unattested Old English *hearwe or *hearge, though the Middle English word is perhaps more likely a loan from Old Norse, despite the phonetic objections—compare Norwegian harv, horv "harrow," Swedish harv, Danish harve, Old Icelandic herfi. The further origin of the Scandinavian word is unclear. G. Kroonen, Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic (Brill, 2013) suggests as an etymon *harbō, akin to *harbjan- "to pluck" (whence, allegedly, Norwegian dialect herva "to snatch"), akin to Germanic *harbista- "autumn" and Latin carpere "to pluck, pick, gather" (see: {harvest:1|harvest:1}). A harrow, however, is not a tool for plucking or gathering.;
