Etymology

The word 'felling' derives from the Old English 'fellian', which means to cause to fall or to cut down. The term has been used since the 14th century to describe the act of cutting down trees, distinguishing it from other meanings of falling. As logging became more prevalent, the term evolved to reflect both the physical act of tree removal and the broader implications of deforestation. Over the years, the focus on sustainable forestry practices has led to discussions surrounding felling, where methods and regulations aim to balance economic needs with environmental conservation.
