The first term is evidently from the A.-S. _mæth_, mowing or math:
Bosworth's _Dictionary_. Eddish is likewise from the A.-S. _edisc_,
signifying the second growth; it is used by Tusser, _October's Husbandry_,
stanza 4.:
"Where wheat upon _eddish_ ye mind to bestow,
Let that be the first of the wheat ye do sow."
_Rawings_ also occurs in Tusser, and in the _Promptorium Parvulorum_,
_rawynhey_ is mentioned. In Bailey's _Dictionary_ it is spelt _rowen_ and
_roughings_: this last form gives the etymology, for _rowe_, as may be seen
in Halliwell, is an old form for _rough_.
