1. a crucifix, especially one set on a beam or screen at the entrance to the chancel of a church
2. the cross on which Christ was crucified
3. a unit of area equal to one quarter of an acre or 0.10117 hectares
4. a unit of area equal to 40 square rods

So heavy was the load
So cumbersome the rood
That he lost his breeches

(Supposing he had any to start with)
