Word origin

The word 'plane' comes from the Old French 'plane,' meaning 'to make level,' which, in turn, is derived from the Latin 'planāre,' meaning 'to make flat.' This etymology reflects the tool's primary function of smoothing surfaces, particularly wood. The verb 'to plane' has been used in English since the 15th century as craftspeople sought efficient methods for creating smooth finishes on wooden surfaces for furniture, construction, and various decorative applications. As woodworking methods evolved, so did the terminology, but the basic principles of planing have remained essential in carpentry and joinery.
