Etymology

The word 'craftsman' originates from the Middle English term 'craftsman', which combines 'craft' and 'man'. 'Craft' itself stems from Old English 'craeft', meaning strength or skill, and is related to the Old Norse 'kraftr', which also refers to power or strength. The concept of a craftsman implies not just manual dexterity but also a deep knowledge of materials and techniques developed over time. Historically, craftsmen have played vital roles in society, contributing to the construction of buildings, furniture, tools, and decorative arts. The rise of guilds during the medieval period formalized the training and standards expected of craftsmen, and this tradition of skilled, hands-on work continues to be valued in today's economy.
