Le verbe anglais "winnow" trouve ses origines dans l'Ancien Anglais "windwian", qui signifie "vanner". Ce verbe est principalement utilisé dans le contexte agricole, mais il possède également des connotations plus larges et plus figuratives. La définition de "winnow" est la suivante : séparer le bon du mauvais, souvent en utilisant un courant d'air. En agriculture, cela se réfère spécifiquement au processus de séparation des grains de céréales de la paille et des balles. Ce processus consiste à jeter le mélange en l'air pour que le vent emporte les éléments légers et indésirables, laissant retomber les grains plus lourds et désirés. De manière figurative, "winnow" peut signifier trier ou éliminer les éléments indésirables d'un groupe ou d'une situation, afin de ne conserver que ce qui est utile ou de valeur. C'est un terme riche de sens, utilisé aussi bien dans des contextes littéraux que métaphoriques.
