It’s an olde english word. American farmers say “plowshear”. If you saw a plow, slicing through the soil, you’d realize why it’s called a shear. It’s also called a plowpoint, because that piece of steel is what cuts into the soil, shears it loose from terra firma, and the “moldboard” behind it deftly rolls the soil over creating a new seedbed for this year’s crop.
