To remove the husk or outer shell from grain, seeds, or similar plant material.
From 'en-' plus 'husk,' from Middle Dutch 'huijsk' (little house). A husk is the outer protective covering that looks like a small house around the seed.
Before mechanical harvesters, communities held 'husking bees' where neighbors gathered to enhusk corn together—it was social, economic, and practical all at once, with songs and competitions making the work faster.
