FELLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Felling generally refers to the act of cutting down and removing a standing tree from its base or stump. It is a term often used in the field of forestry, logging, and arboriculture. Felling involves the deliberate process of bringing down a tree in a controlled manner, following certain techniques and safety measures.
When felling a tree, the first step is usually determining the direction in which the tree should fall, considering factors such as the tree's natural lean, wind conditions, and surrounding obstacles. Safety precautions are crucial throughout the process to avoid injury or damage to surrounding structures. Felling may involve the use of specialized tools and equipment such as chainsaws and axes to cut through the tree trunk.
Once a tree has been felled, further actions may be required such as trimming branches and cutting the trunk into logs for various purposes like timber production or firewood. Felling can be practiced for multiple reasons, including forest management, clearing land for construction or agriculture, or for hazard mitigation to prevent potential damage caused by dead or dying trees.
In summary, felling refers to the intentional and controlled cutting down of a tree with the ultimate goal of removing it from its standing position. It involves careful planning, skillful execution, and an understanding of safety measures to ensure efficient and secure tree removal.

Etymology of FELLING
The word "felling" originates from the Old English word "fellan" which means "to cause to fall". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "fallijaną", which has the same meaning. The Germanic root "fall-" eventually evolved into the Middle English word "fell", which referred to an animal's hide. Over time, "fell" began to also refer to the act of cutting down trees, and the term "felling" emerged to specifically denote this action. Today, "felling" typically refers to the act of cutting down trees with an axe, saw, or other tools.
