Etymology
The word 'paver' originated from the Middle English word 'pavier', which in turn came from the Old French word 'paveor'. The term ultimately traces back to the Latin word 'pavire', meaning 'to beat or ram down'. Initially used to refer to a person who laid paving stones, the term evolved to also include the machine used for laying pavement.
