Etymology

The term 'mortaring' derives from the noun 'mortar', which is believed to come from the Latin word 'mortarium', meaning a receptacle or bowl for mixing. The use of mortar in construction dates back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, who used lime and gypsum as binding agents. As construction techniques evolved, different forms of mortar were developed, including cement-based and lime-based mixtures. The practice of mortaring has played a significant role in creating durable structures throughout history, leading to advancements in architecture and engineering. The activity of mortaring has become an essential skill in masonry, and it continues to be a fundamental process in modern construction.
