Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- noun The operation of removing the hard, rough, and brittle husk which incloses the rice grain, and the cuticle immediately investing the kernel. This is accomplished primitively by pounding and winnowing, or in improved practice by passing the rough rice between millstones and the separated grain through a special machine called a ‘huller.’ The grain thus treated is said to be cleaned.
