Etymology

The word 'arching' has its roots in the Old English word 'earcian', meaning 'to make an arch'. The concept of arches has been used in architecture for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Romans and Greeks. The use of arches not only serves a structural purpose but also adds a decorative element to buildings. In a physical sense, the term 'arching' has evolved to describe a sharp, shooting pain in the back or spine, likely due to the visual image of a curved arch. Overall, 'arching' continues to be a versatile word with both architectural and physical connotations.
