WHAT DOES PLOUGHSHARE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ploughshare

Plowshare

In agriculture, a plowshare is a component of a plow. It is the cutting or leading edge of a moldboard which closely follows the coulter when plowing. The plowshare itself is often a hardened blade dressed into an integral moldboard so making a unified combination of plowshare and moldboard, the whole being responsible for entering the cleft in the earth and turning the earth over. In well-tilled terrain the plowshare may do duty without a preceding coulter. In modern plows both coulter and plowshare are detachable for easy replacement when worn or broken.

Definition of ploughshare in the English dictionary

The definition of ploughshare in the dictionary is the horizontal pointed cutting blade of a mouldboard plough.
