The Hebrew word for "chapt" is 'Chathath' (pr. khaw-thath), which means 'shattered or to be dismayed'. But in reference to the "ground being chapt & there was no rain on the Earth", we could understand the word to mean, 'parched or unusable'. As the farmers in those early days depended heavily on rain for their crops (having no viable irrigation systems), the lack of rain in season, caused the farmers to feel utterly dejected & confounded, covering their heads in sorrow.
Chapt is simply an older spelling for chapped. See how your lips 'chap' and crack up when dry. The ground was parched and cracks appeared on the chapped, dry ground.
