Origin

Late Old English plōh, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch ploeg and German Pflug. The spelling plough became common in England in the 18th century; earlier (16th–17th cents) the noun was normally spelled plough, the verb plow.

The spelling plough did not become common until the 18th century. Before that only the noun was normally spelled this way, and the verb was plow, which is still the US spelling for both noun and verb. A staple of the pub lunchtime menu is the ploughman's lunch, a cold meal consisting of bread and cheese usually served with pickle and salad. This is not the traditional rural snack it might seem. The first recorded use of the term can be traced back only to 1960, though two years before that the same kind of thing was being given a similar name in The Times: ‘In a certain inn today you have only to say, “Ploughboy's Lunch, please,” and for a shilling there is bread and cheese and pickled onions to go with your pint’. And over a century earlier we find this curious pre-echo: ‘The surprised poet swung forth to join them, with an extemporized sandwich, that looked like a ploughman's luncheon, in his hand’ (John Lockhart, Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, 1837).
