Etymology
The term 'husking' originated from the Old English word 'husc', which means 'dry external covering of a fruit or seed'. Over time, it evolved to specifically refer to the process of removing the outer covering of grains like rice and corn. The social aspect of husking events can be traced back to agricultural communities where such gatherings were a means of communal celebration and cooperation during harvest times.
