worktable

/wˈɜkteɪbəl/ noun B2 ✓

A table designed for work of a specific type.

Word Origin 'Worktable' is exactly what it sounds like: a table for working. 'Work' comes from Proto-Germanic *werka-, meaning labor or something done, and 'table' from Latin 'tabula', a board or plank. So a worktable is literally a plank for doing work. The Latin 'tabula' also gives us 'tabular,' 'tabulate,' and 'timetable.' The PIE root *werg- for work is the same one behind 'energy' and 'organ.'
