shavings

/ˈʃeɪvɪŋz/ noun

plural of shaving; those particles or pieces left after or created by shaving.

Word Origin Shavings are the thin slices removed when you shave something. Shave comes from a root meaning 'to scrape,' and the same root gives us scab (a crust formed from scraping) and scabies (a skin disease). The PIE root *skab- is about scraping. So shavings are literally scrapings, and you can almost see the wood curls or metal slivers.
