Soil
Definition:
(v. t.) To feed, as cattle or horses, in the barn or an inclosure, with fresh grass or green food cut for them, instead of sending them out to pasture; hence (such food having the effect of purging them), to purge by feeding on green food; as, to soil a horse.

(n.) To stain or mar, as with infamy or disgrace; to tarnish; to sully.
(v. i.) To become soiled; as, light colors soil sooner than dark ones.
(n.) That which soils or pollutes; a soiled place; spot; stain.
