Etymology
The term 'carcassing' originates from the word 'carcass', which has its roots in the Old French 'carcasse', meaning 'body' or 'framework'. Historically, the word 'carcass' referred to the dead body of an animal, which has evolved to imply the supporting structure of objects, especially in construction. Its use in the context of buildings and structures highlights the foundational elements that support the visible aspects of a construction. The shift from referring solely to animal bodies to architectural frameworks showcases the term's evolution in the English language over centuries.
