violinmaking

/vˈaɪəlɪnmˌeɪkɪŋ/ noun

The construction of violins.

Word Origin A compound of 'violin' and 'making'. 'Violin' comes from Latin 'vitula' (calf, heifer) — surprisingly, the instrument is named after a young cow, perhaps because its strings were originally made from calf gut. The 'making' part is from Old English 'macian' (to fashion). The same root gives us 'viola', 'violoncello', and 'violinist'.
