chipboard

/ˈtʃɪpˌbɔɹd/ noun

A building material made from wood chips compressed and bound with synthetic resin.

Word Origin Chipboard is a compound of chip and board — literally 'board made of chips'. Chip comes from Old English cipp 'splinter', and board from Old English bord 'plank'. The same roots give us microchip, cardboard, keyboard, and dashboard, so chipboard is part of a big family of flat, often wooden things.
