Etymology of CHISELING

The word "chiseling" derives from the noun "chisel", which refers to a hand tool with a metal blade used for cutting, shaping, or carving hard materials like wood or stone. The term "chisel" originated from the Old French word "cisel" or "cisel(e)er", which meant to cut with a chisel. This Old French term came from the Late Latin word "cisellare", derived from the Latin word "caesellus" meaning "chisel". Ultimately, the Latin word "caesellus" might have its roots in the noun "caesus", which means "cut". Therefore, "chiseling" simply signifies the act of using a chisel, typically to carve or shape solid materials.
