sawmilling

/sˈɔmɪlɪŋ/ noun

The business of a sawmill

Word Origin From 'sawmill' (a mill for sawing) + -ing. 'Saw' comes from Old English 'sagu' (cutting tool), from PIE *sek- (to cut), which also gives us 'section' and 'segment'. 'Mill' from Latin 'molina' (mill), from PIE *melə- (to grind), which gives us 'meal' (ground grain) and 'molar' (grinding tooth).
