Its shown in this old plow diagram, now as far as the meaning, or where the word was derived from, I would think its a little self explanatory by what it does, I've also heard of a motor grader blade, being called a moldboard, and I assume that to be the half round part of the blade that is not the replaceable cutting edge, performs the same,like the plow, but usually with loose soil. On the plow the cutting edge would be the share. The diagram below shows an old style plow, the moldboard is one piece, unlike the more modern plows, there is a replaceable wear part called a shin, which would be the front section of this one piece, making 2 separate pieces, that part of the moldboard being the leading edge, will wear faster than the rest of the moldboard, so plow manufacturers at some point must have decided to eliminate the one piece moldboard, speculation on my part, but I am sure there is a lot of interesting history behind that word, "moldboard"
