WHAT DOES EIRA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Eira

Eira is a flat space with a hard floor, of varying dimensions, where the cereals were sown and sieved, after being harvested, in order to separate the straw and other debris from the cereal grains. Its origin is linked to the advent of agriculture and the consequent cultivation of cereals, where various techniques, tools and specific facilities have been developed. The expression goes back to the 1500s in Portugal and gave the terreiro its name next to the houses where the cereals were collected, among other agricultural products, to dry, to work or to clean. The other origin for eira is Brazilian, recorded in "The guide of the curious: Portuguese language", by Marcelo Duarte. In the colonial period, the eira comprised the houses of rich families of Portuguese origin, also called marquises, built in the upper part of the houses to protect them from the rain. The eiras also fulfilled a social function, since they provided a place where ceremonies or public events could take place, such as dances or masses. In Portugal, particularly in the north of the country, it is common to find granaries surrounding the threshing floors, as it was in these places that cereals were stored.
