tinwork

/ˈtɪnwɜɹk/ noun

Word Origin Tinwork is a compound of 'tin' and 'work,' meaning objects made from tin or the craft of working with tin. The word 'work' comes from Old English 'weorc,' which is related to 'energy' and 'organ' via the PIE root *werg- 'to do, make.' So tinwork is the labor of shaping tin, and related words include 'tinware,' 'tinsmith,' and 'metalwork.'
