A dialectal or regional term for a type of implement or structure, with unclear modern usage.
Etymology uncertain; possibly from Old English or Germanic roots, but the term has become so obsolete that its original meaning is disputed among etymologists.
Some words are so completely lost that etymologists can only guess—'bensel' appears in old texts but no one remembers what it actually was, making it a ghost of forgotten craftsmen.
