What does STOOK mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishhistorical
A group of sheaves of grain stood upright together in a field to dry before threshing.
Before mechanical combine harvesters became common, farm workers cut grain by hand or with a reaper, bundled it into sheaves, and stacked several sheaves together as a stook so that air could pass through and dry the crop. The number of sheaves in a stook varied by region and crop, but the shared idea was a small, self-supporting stack that stood in the field until it was ready to be carted away. The same word works as a verb, so a laborer might spend a harvest day stooking sheaves across a field. Because most modern harvesting is mechanized, stooks are now mainly seen in historical farming, traditional festivals, or regions that still harvest by hand.
