Why this word is great
TREEWRIGHT — [Noun] A worker of wood, specifically a carpenter or joiner. From Middle English *tre-wrighte, from Old English trēowwyrhta ("wood-worker, carpenter"), equivalent to tree ("wood") + wright ("worker, craftsman"). Unlike “carpenter,” a modern term seasoned by sawdust and plywood, or “wheelwright,” a specialist in a single, circumscribed artifact, “treewright” roots the craft irrevocably in its living source. It is the scent of fresh heart-pine released under the plane, the rhythmic suck and pull of a crosscut saw in green timber, and the patient shaping of a ship’s rib from a living curve of wood—the quiet, ancient alchemy by which wilderness is persuaded to become shelter, a pact with the forest remembered in the language itself.
noun
- A worker of wood, carpenter, joiner.“The work of the treewright or structural woodworker differed from that of the later medieval carpenter, in the reliance on building by eye, the controlled splitting of timber (rather that sawing), and reliance on unmeasured joints.”
