Etymology

The term 'fumier' originates from the French word for manure, derived from 'fum' which means 'smoke' or 'fumage'. This etymology ties back to the Latin word 'fumus', also signifying smoke, hinting at the organic nature and the decomposition processes involved in creating manure. As agricultural practices evolved, so too did the terminology used to describe those who handle manure and compost. The usage of 'fumier' emphasizes the significant role of organic waste recycling in farming, which has been a crucial aspect of sustainable agriculture over centuries.
