winter-ground, v.
Assumed by G. Steevens (ed. of Shakespeare, 1773, IX. 257) in Cymb. iv. ii. 229, where the 1st Folio has ‘the Raddocke would..bring thee all this, Yea, and furr'd Mosse besides. When Flowres are none To winter-ground thy Coarse ― Gui. Prythee haue done’, and explained by him as meaning: ‘To protect (a plant) from the inclemency of the winter-season, by straw, dung, &c. laid over it.’ (Hence in Dicts. from Worcester, 1860, onwards.) |
