TENON Meaning and
Definition
-
A tenon, in woodworking, refers to a type of joint used to connect two pieces of wood together. It is a projecting piece of one board that is designed to fit precisely into a corresponding slot, called a mortise, in another piece of wood. This interlocking connection provides strength and stability to the overall structure.
The tenon is typically a rectangular or square-shaped projection that is carefully crafted to match the dimensions of the mortise. It is commonly created at the end of a piece of wood and is usually wider than it is deep, although there can be variations based on specific applications. The shape of the tenon may vary depending on the desired strength and purpose of the joint.
To create a tenon joint, a craftsman would first carve or shape the tenon on one piece of wood and then carefully cut a corresponding mortise on the other piece. The fit of the tenon into the mortise is crucial; it needs to be precise and snug, allowing for a strong and tight joint. This type of joint is commonly used in furniture making, cabinetry, and other woodworking applications.
Overall, a tenon is a key element in creating sturdy and reliable connections in woodworking, providing strength and durability to a variety of structures and constructions.

Etymology of TENON
The word "tenon" can be traced back to the Old French term "tenoun", which originated from the Latin word "tenonem", the accusative form of "teno". In Latin, "teno" means "to hold" or "to grasp". These Latin roots reflect the concept of how a tenon functions in carpentry and joinery, as it refers to a projecting piece of wood that is designed to be inserted into a corresponding mortise to create a secure, sturdy joint.
