Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Agrius

👉 The word "agrius" refers to an ancient Roman farming practice in which people would sit on a platform and use a tool called an agrius (a small, round tool with a handle) to harvest grains. The principle was based on the observation that the angle of a farmer's body facing forward helped to encourage the wind to carry the grain away from the farmer rather than into their legs, which would cause excessive wear and tear. This technique is often associated with the Romans' interest in sustainable agriculture practices.
