The term MOWER is composed of two words: SCYTHE (6 letters) and LAWN (4 letters). A scythe is a long-handled tool with a curved blade at the end, used for cutting grass or crops. It is traditionally used in farming and agriculture. A LAWN is an area of land covered with grass, usually kept short by mowing. A mower is a machine used to cut grass on a LAWN.
