Seguém

Seguém is a term that can refer to several things, primarily a surname and a type of agricultural implement. As a surname, Seguém is found in various parts of the world, particularly in Portuguese-speaking countries and their diasporas. Individuals with this surname have contributed to diverse fields throughout history, though specific prominent figures are not universally recognized under this single identifier without further context.

In agriculture, a "seguém" or "segadeira" is a tool used for harvesting crops, particularly grains. Historically, it was a hand-held implement with a long, curved blade designed to cut stalks close to the ground. This contrasts with scythes, which are typically used for cutting grass and are often longer and heavier. The seguém was a crucial tool for farmers before the advent of mechanical reapers and combines, allowing for efficient manual harvesting. While largely replaced by modern machinery, the term and its historical significance remain relevant in discussions of agricultural history and traditional farming practices.
