Usage Notes or Etymology
The term originates from the Old Javanese word daut which literally means “to pull out” or “to detach”. In the agrarian culture of Javanese society, “ndaut” is a crucial stage preceding the “tandur” (planting) process. Socially, this activity is often performed collectively through mutual cooperation among farm laborers or family members. The process requires specific skill to ensure the rice seedling roots are not damaged when pulled from the muddy soil.
