bookbinding

/bˈʊkbaɪndɪŋ/ noun

The art, craft or process of binding books.

Word Origin Book comes from bōks, which originally meant 'beech tree' — because early Germanic people wrote on beechwood tablets. Bookbinding is the act of binding books, tying the pages together. Bind is from bindanan 'to tie'. So bookbinding literally ties beechwood tablets? Now it's paper, but the idea persists. Related: book, booklet, binder.
