Etymology

The word 'plasterer' originates from the Middle English term 'plastrer,' which itself is derived from the Old French word 'plastre,' meaning 'plaster'. The root word traces back to the Latin 'plastra,' indicating a molding substance, and 'plastare,' which means to mold or form. The profession has ancient roots, with evidence of plaster being used in construction dating back to Roman times. Plastering as a craft evolved over centuries as various cultures and civilizations developed their own techniques and materials. Modern plasterers often utilize materials such as gypsum plaster or cement-based products, but the fundamental skills involved in the trade remain largely unchanged. The profession is integral in the construction and renovation industry, contributing to both functionality and aesthetics.
