Hroz

Hroz is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily in the context of a surname or, more colloquially, as a misspelling of "harrow."

As a surname, Hroz is of Slavic origin, with variations found across Eastern Europe. It is not a widespread surname but is present in countries such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The etymology of the surname is not definitively established, but it may derive from personal names or occupational descriptors within the historical Slavic linguistic landscape.

In a more informal context, "hroz" is often a typographical error for "harrow." A harrow is an agricultural implement used for breaking up and smoothing the soil. It is typically pulled behind a tractor or other draft animal and consists of a heavy frame with teeth or disks that penetrate the soil. The purpose of harrowing is to prepare a seedbed, uproot weeds, or cover seeds after sowing. Therefore, if encountered in an agricultural discussion, "hroz" is highly likely to be a mistyped "harrow."
