Etymology

The word 'hollower' derives from the verb 'hollow,' which comes from the Old English 'holh,' meaning 'a hole or cavity.' The transition to its modern form involves the addition of the '-er' suffix, indicating a person or thing that performs an action. Its usage expanded as different crafts and trades developed in the Middle Ages, where hollowing out materials became essential for making vessels, artworks, and furniture. The term has since evolved and is now utilized not only in crafting but also in metaphorical contexts to describe emotional emptiness. The exploration of hollowing techniques can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where artisans honed their skills in creating functional and aesthetic objects.
