Etymology

The word 'bulldoze' originated in the mid-19th century in the United States. It comes from the combination of 'bull' (meaning large and strong) and 'doze' (meaning to sleep or be inactive). The term was first used to describe the method of clearing land using a bull (or oxen) pulling a large wooden beam. Over time, the term evolved to refer to the use of a bulldozer machine for land clearing and forceful actions.
