The Etimological Features of Crafts Terminology
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the etymological features of terminology related to crafts, focusing on the linguistic characteristics that define and distinguish craft-related vocabulary. Through an exploration of the origins, transformations, and semantic shifts of key terms within the craft lexicon, the study investigates how specific words have evolved in response to changes in craft techniques, materials, and cultural contexts. By analyzing linguistic patterns such as word formation, borrowing, and adaptation, the article uncovers the interplay between language and craft practices, shedding light on how terminology both reflects and shapes the identity of various artisanal traditions. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between language and craftsmanship, illustrating the ways in which craft terminology captures the specialized knowledge and cultural significance embedded in manual labor and artisanal production.
