Etymology of BEAMS

The word "beams" has its origins in the Old English word "bema", which initially referred to a living tree, beam, or post. The term was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "baumô", meaning "tree" or "wood". Over time, the meaning of "bema" evolved, and by the Middle English period, it came to refer specifically to the horizontal timber or structural support, forming the cross-section of a roof or floor. Thus, the modern term "beams" emerged, retaining its association with construction and support structures.
