What does HARROW mean in Scrabble?
noun
A farm tool with a heavy frame set with teeth or discs, dragged over ploughed ground to break up clods.
After a field is ploughed the soil lies in rough lumps, and a harrow is what makes it fine enough to sow. Pulled behind a horse or a tractor, it levels the surface, pulls out weeds and covers the seed. The word also works as a verb, and from that comes the figurative sense of harrowing, a tale or an experience that tears at the nerves.
