Definition

  1. 1
    Apero o herramienta agrícola destinada a separar el trigo de la paja, es decir, a trillar. Tiene forma de tablero grueso con el frontal curvado hacia arriba (como un trineo), cuyo vientre está guarnecido de esquirlas cortantes de piedra (lascas), o de sierras metálicas (cuchillas). La trilla se produce al arrastrar el trillo sobre la parva, es decir, sobre las mieses de cereal repartidas en el suelo de la era (empedrada de cantos rodados de cuarcita): las lascas, o las cuchillas separan la semilla de la paja sin dañarla.
  2. 2
    Vereda o senda que se abre entre los arbustos, a fuerza de pasar las personas o los animales siempre por la misma ruta. Trillar es abrir esa senda, pisoteando el terreno y la vegetación.
