What do they mean when they say 'good resistance to lodging'?

RHS says this

Quote

Plants fall over: In exposed gardens plants can fall over (lodge) in high winds. To avoid the chore of staking plants choose shorter cultivars (listed in seed catalogues) and draw soil 15cm (6ins) up stalks in late summer using a draw hoe. Crowded plants are more vulnerable to lodging.

so lodging is falling over (related to dislodging I suppose)

Thanks Mum, that had me completely puzzled. Lodge almost sounds the opposite of falling over, doesn't it

Some of the stuff I was drinking last night had a lodging effect :blink:

If they'd just used that as an example, I'd have understood it right away
