Literary authors employ the term "thresh" in a striking variety of ways, harnessing its literal connection to agriculture while also extending its meaning to metaphorical and colloquial contexts. In many works, thresh refers directly to the physical process of separating grain from chaff, evoking images of a threshing floor and the rhythmic labor of harvest as discussed in texts such as those portraying the shunning of the noonday steep for better separation ([1], [2]); it even appears in extended descriptions of the process in narratives involving farm life ([3], [4]). Equally, the word is used figuratively to signify the act of working through or resolving complex matters, as when characters resolve to "thresh it out" in conversations about problems or disputes ([5], [6], [7]). In other instances, it takes on a more aggressive or combative nuance—a call to confront or beat down obstacles, as in spirited depictions of conflict or physical exertion ([8], [9]). Thus, the rich usage of "thresh" in literature reflects a duality that mirrors both the tangible rhythms of agrarian work and the metaphorical processes of analysis, debate, and confrontation ([10], [11], [12]).
