withy

An osier (Salix viminalis), a type of willow.

A long flexible twig of the osier; a withe.

In the midst of the meadow was a space marked out with withies sixty paces either way for the wrastling ground.

Flexible, like a withe.

The Merlons, to the end that they may be good, ought to be made of Earth, the most eaſie to be tempered that may be: And this Earth ought alſo to be mixed with Withy Twigs, or Brambles, provided they take Root, after which they are to be lined with good Turff.

I would work at my spells from dawn until dusk, dig up roots and forget to eat, harvest the withy stems and weave baskets till they piled to the ceiling.
