(tĕd)

tr.v. Chiefly New England, ted·ded, ted·ding, teds.
To strew or spread (newly mown grass, for example) for drying.

[Middle English tedden.]

REGIONAL NOTE In 15th-century England the verb ted meant to spread newly cut hay to facilitate its drying. In the mid-19th century an American inventor produced a machine to ted the hay automatically and called it a tedder. Since modern English is inclined to make verbs out of nouns meaning implements or machines, the noun tedder became a verb with the same meaning as the original word ted. Tedder, a New England verb, also turns up in those parts of the Midwest that received settlers from New England.
