meaning of "bardaguera"
Can anyone help me with the meaning of "bardaguera" in Spanish'
1 Answer
I think that "bardaguera" is a Spanish word for a kind of basket made from oiser. Now here is what "oiser" is..
osier n flexible twig of a willow tree any of various willows having pliable twigs used in basketry and furniture
And from a 1913 edition of Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary...found on the World Wide Web:
Osier \O"sier, n. (a) A kind of willow ({Salix viminalis}) growing in wet places in Europe and Asia, and introduced into North America. It is considered the best of the willows for basket work. The name is sometimes given to any kind of willow. (b) One of the long, pliable twigs of this plant, or of other similar plants.
That dictionary entry even includes a quote from Shakespeare:
The rank of osiers by the murmuring stream. --Shak.
