Possible definitions for wefted
weed
Any plant growing where it is not wanted. On land under cultivation, weeds compete with crops for water, light, and nutrients. On rangelands and in pastures, weeds are those plants that grazing animals dislike or that are poisonous. Many weeds are hosts of plant disease organisms or of insect pests. Some originally unwanted plants later were found to have virtues and came under cultivation, while some cultivated plants, when transplanted to new climates, escaped cultivation and became weeds in the new habitat.
western
Genre of novels and short stories, motion pictures, and television and radio shows set in the Amer. West, usually during 1850-1900, when the area was opened to white settlers. Though basically a U.S. creation, it has counterparts in the gaucho literature of Argentina and in tales of the settlement of the Australian outback. Conflicts between white pioneers and Indians and between cattle ranchers and fence-building farmers form two basic themes. Cowboys, the town sheriff, and the U.S. marshal are staple figures, and lawlessness and gun violence are standard. O. Wister's The Virginian (1902) is regarded as the seminal western novel; the genre's great popularity in the early and middle decades of the 20th cent. and declined somewhat thereafter.
