† thrusche, v. Sc. Obs.
[Etymology and meaning obscure; perhaps there are here two words.
In sense 2, possibly:—OE. *þyrscan in ᵹe-, of-þyrscan, ‘to press, press down, repress’; but this does not suit sense 1, for which some suggest identity with frush v., with th for f; but this also seems to fail to give the sense ‘cut or cleave’.]
1. trans. ? To cut asunder, cleave.
