Etymology
The word 'husker' originates from the combination of 'husk', which refers to the outer covering of cereals and other fruits, and the suffix '-er', indicating a person who performs a specific action. The term 'husk' dates back to the 14th century, derived from the Middle English word 'hosk', which has Old Norse roots. The process of removing husks has been a part of agricultural practices for centuries, especially in relation to corn and other grains. As farming evolved, specialized machines were developed, which eventually led to the adoption of the term 'husker' to describe both the laborers and the equipment used for this task.
