Etymology

The term 'bulldozer' originated in the early 20th century, combining 'bull' (meaning large or powerful) and 'dozer' (a shortening of 'bulldozer') to describe the heavy-duty earth-moving machine. The design of the modern bulldozer has evolved over time to become an essential tool in construction and excavation projects.
