Word origin
The term 'edging' has its origins in the Old English word 'ecg' which meant 'a border or edge'. Over time, the word evolved to 'edging' with its current meanings in gardening and sewing. The practice of edging gardens can be traced back to the formal garden designs of the Renaissance period, where creating defined borders became a common aesthetic technique. In sewing, edging has been used for centuries to add decorative elements to garments and textiles.
