Etymology
The word 'sawyer' originates from the late Middle English 'sawier', which is derived from the verb 'sawen', meaning 'to saw'. The Old English term for 'saw' is 'sagu', and it relates back to the Proto-Germanic 'sagwล', which refers to a tool used for cutting. As lumber production became vital for building and expansion, especially during the Industrial Revolution, the role of the sawyer became increasingly important. Historically, sawyers were essential in converting felled trees into beams and planks for construction and shipbuilding, and the term has maintained its relevance in both traditional and contemporary woodworking contexts.
