[Gość: Baska]

this english text;


they started to spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As
the winter wore on they would just keep adding it and adding it until when
you opened the door it would all start slipping outside.

I think they mean previous harvest threshings.

Mainly straw, or whatever is left after beating the stems
and husks with the flail.

"Threshold

Threshold is a very old word, dating to c. 1000 and probably earlier. The word thresh originally meant to stamp on or trample
and survives today in the verb to thresh (wheat) and in thrash. The hold portion is of unknown origin. The threshold is
literally the first place in a building you step and has evolved to mean any gateway.

Once again the specious internet lore of Life in the 1500s blows the explanation. It claims that thresh was placed on the bare
floor and a block of wood, the threshold, would keep the thresh in when the door was opened. The big problem is that there is
no such thing as thresh. Thresh is not and never has been a noun. It is a verb meaning to beat, stamp, trample."

Life in 1500s is a joke page and shouldn't be treated too seriously. However I agree that life at that time was somewhat "dirty" to say the least.
