Roberto poured wine into a coarse glass.

L. Scottoline "Loyalty"

(Roberto is a farmhand in a lemon grove, Sicily, 1810)

can "coarse" here mean "simple"? Or, maybe, "textured"?

    Roughly made, cheap, not refined or stylish. The kind of glass a peasant would have.

  • You should indicate the results of your research. Are "simple" and "textured" words that you found as synonyms for "coarse"? If so, where did you find them?
