Etymology

The term 'lathing' has its roots in Middle English from the word 'lathe', which originally referred to a thin strip of wood. It is derived from Old English 'laรฐa', meaning 'strip or slat'. The usage of lathing in construction dates back to medieval times when builders used wooden laths to hold plaster in place, creating sturdy walls. As technology evolved, the term expanded to include the act of shaping materials using the lathe machine, which became prominent in the 19th century with the industrial revolution. The technique of lathing enabled more complex designs and various applications, making it a vital part of both woodworking and metalworking processes.
