Etymology

The word 'sawing' originates from the Old English word 'saga', which means a saw, as well as from Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European roots related to cutting. The term has been used for centuries to describe the action of cutting with a saw-like tool. In ancient civilizations, various types of saws were developed, from simple hand-held wooden forms to metal saws that allowed for finer and more intricate cuts. As woodworking evolved, so did the techniques and tools associated with sawing, leading to the modern power saws we use today. The concept of sawing has remained integral to craftsmanship and construction throughout history, reflecting the creative and practical aspects of human ingenuity.
