plough
Furrow-cutting implement
A plough is a farming implement that cuts and turns soil to prepare it for planting—the foundational tool of agriculture for millennia.
To plough is to work the earth this way, or by extension to move through something with similar force: The ship ploughed through heavy seas.
To plough on is to persist doggedly.
To plough into something is to crash into it.
