wickerwork

/ˈwɪkɝwɜɹk/ noun

A thing or things made of wicker.

Word Origin Wickerwork is literally 'bend-work' — from wicker, which comes from a Proto-Germanic root meaning 'to bend,' and work. Wicker is made by bending flexible branches, so the name captures the process. The same root for 'bend' also gives us weak and wicker (the material). And work is everywhere: network, framework, artwork. So wickerwork is the craft of bending and weaving.
