Word origin

The word 'auger' has its origins in Middle English, from the Old English 'nafogฤr', which is a compound of 'nafu' (navel) and 'gฤr' (spear). The term evolved over time to refer to a tool for boring holes. Augers have been used for centuries in various forms, from hand tools to mechanical devices, for tasks such as drilling wells, planting crops, and transporting materials. The efficiency and versatility of augers have made them essential tools in agriculture, construction, and other industries.
