The act of harrowing or distressing; the state of being harrowed or emotionally tormented.
From 'harrow' + '-ment' (suffix forming nouns from verbs, as in 'government' or 'placement'). This creates a noun describing either the action of harrowing or its result.
'Harrowment' is an archaic word that's been largely replaced by more modern forms like 'distress' or 'torment'—it shows how English loses certain word formations as language evolves, keeping only the most useful ones!
