moot-axe

Where it comes from

From moot (“tree stump”) + axe.

noun moot-axes

West Country A specialised axe for cutting tree stumps. The total area within the Romano-British fortress is perhaps three acres, and the fact that the explorer is no longer young and was single-handed quite precluded any extensive trenching in the hard and stony soil with no implements other than a shovel, a small spade and a moot-axe.
