froefrown.

Brit.

/frəʊ/, U.S.

/froʊ/

Forms: Also 1500s–1600s frower, 1600s frowe, frau, 1700s fro.

Etymology: The synonymous fromward n. suggests that the earliest form frower represents a substantive use of froward adj. in the lit. sense ‘turned away’, the reference being to the position of the handle.

Now chiefly U.S.

1. A wedge-shaped tool used for cleaving and riving staves, shingles, etc. It has a handle in the plane of the blade, set at right angles to the back.
