the roman god of harrowing, because even farm equipment deserved a deity.

means a minor roman agricultural deity presiding over the harrowing of soil, the raking that breaks clods after plowing.

from from latin occare, to harrow, itself possibly rooted in a proto-indo-european word for striking or breaking; occator is one of the indigitamenta, the specialist gods pontiffs invoked for narrow farm tasks so nothing slipped through unblessed.
