Etymology

The word 'duster' originated in the 14th century and was derived from the Middle English word 'dusten', which means to shake dust. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a tool specifically designed for removing dust. The use of dusters became more common with the rise of indoor furniture and the need to keep living spaces clean.
