harrow
Post-plow smoother
A harrow is a heavy farm implement dragged over plowed land to break up clods, smooth the surface, and cover seeds.
The verb harrow means to use such a tool, but its figurative sense dominates: to cause distress or torment.
A harrowing experience is deeply disturbing or traumatic: a harrowing account of survival, harrowing footage from the war zone.
