noun, masculine/rasˈtɾoxo/plural: rastrojos
weeds; chaff, cuttings; stover
“De los verdes y gayos maizales sólo quedaban rastrojos.” — All that was left of the gay green cornfields were the stovers.
From earlier restojo, from Vulgar Latin *restuclu < *restucŭlum (compare Portuguese restolho, Aragonese restollo, Catalan rostoll, restoll, Occitan restolh, cf. also southern Italian dialectal restuccio), variant of *restupŭlum (compare Catalan restoble, Occitan restoble), from a verb *restupulāre, from stupula, alteration of Latin stipula.
