Etymology of CROSSCUT

The word "crosscut" originated in the late 19th century and combines two separate terms.

The first part, "cross", comes from the Old Norse word "kross", which means "cross" or "intersection". This term was borrowed into English during the Viking age and has roots in the Proto-Germanic word "krusuz".

The second part, "cut", is derived from the Old English word "cyttan", meaning "to cut". This word has Germanic origins and is related to the Old High German "zitton" and the Old Norse "skotta".

Combining both terms, "crosscut" refers to a cutting action that goes across or intersects something, typically perpendicular or diagonally. The word is commonly used to describe a type of sawing technique or a saw with a toothed blade that cuts across the wood grain.
