WHAT DOES TRUG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

trug

Sussex trug

A Sussex trug is a wooden basket mainly used for gardening. It is made from a handle and rim of coppiced sweet chestnut wood which is hand-cleft then shaved using a drawknife. The body of the trug is made of five or seven thin boards of cricket bat willow, also hand-shaved with a drawknife. They were probably originated in Sussex because of the abundance of chestnut coppice and willows found on the marshes. Shapes and sizes became standardised, the most well-known shape being the "common or garden" trug ranging in volume from one pint to a bushel. However, there is a diverse range of traditional trugs from garden and oval trugs to the more specialised "large log" and "walking stick" trugs.

Definition of trug in the English dictionary
