Etymology
The word 'adze' originates from Old English 'adesa' which translates to a tool for cutting or shaping wood. Its etymology can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *adizō, which denotes a similar type of tool. The usage of adzes dates back to ancient times, as they were essential tools for early carpenters and woodworkers for constructing homes, boats, and other wooden structures. As woodworking techniques evolved, the design and functionality of the adze also diversified, allowing for more intricate shaping and finishing of wooden surfaces.
