Word origin
The verb 'scarfing' in woodworking comes from the Old Norse word 'skerfa', meaning 'to cut'. The noun 'scarfing' in the context of eating quickly is believed to have originated from the slang term 'scarf' meaning 'to eat voraciously'. Over time, both meanings have evolved to their current usage in English.
