Etymology
The word 'plough' has its origins in Old English 'plลh', which is related to the German word 'Pflug' and the Dutch word 'ploeg'. The term has been used for centuries to describe the implement used by farmers to prepare the land for cultivation. Historically, ploughing was often done using wooden ploughs pulled by animal power, which evolved over time into more sophisticated versions made of metal. The adoption of mechanized ploughs in the 19th century revolutionized agricultural practices, allowing for more efficient ploughing processes. This has continued into modern times with advanced technology and tractors.
