Etymology

The word 'threshing' originated from the Old English word 'therscan', meaning 'to thresh'. Threshing has been an important agricultural practice for centuries, enabling farmers to separate grain from straw efficiently. Historically, threshing was done manually by beating the grain with a flail, but with advancements in technology, machines like threshers and combines have been developed to automate the process. Threshing remains a crucial step in the production of various crops around the world.
