Plural of bent; can refer to multiple bent objects, curved or flexible things, or types of grass characterized by a bent or curved form.
From bent, which comes from Old English bendan meaning 'to stretch or bend.' Bents also refers to varieties of creeping grasses, especially bentgrass used in lawns and golf courses.
Bentgrass is so fine and precise that it revolutionized golf—greens made from bent bents are smooth as velvet and can be cut to exact heights, which is why professional golf courses maintain them obsessively with specialized equipment.
