That word comes up in the post linked through 'the main word' below. Here, I list a few 'root-words' that tie that word into our lexicon....
The word “Pith” (the plant-material & the method of killing by piercing the spinal cord) is built on ancient words that mean "the Central Cylinder of Plants' Stems" or figuratively "the Essential Part, Quintessence, Condensed Substance" (a #PithHelmet (or #PithHat) is named for the dried pith of Bengal spongewood (that it's made out of)).
#Pithed #Pithing
#Pithy means Strong, Vigorous (making #Pithless mean the opposite).
