Bottlemaking

/ˈbɒtəlˌmeɪkɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The process or industry of manufacturing bottles.

Etymology

Gerund formed from 'bottlemaker,' using the -ing suffix to describe the activity itself. This term emerged with industrial glass production in the 18th-19th centuries.

Kelly Says

Modern bottlemaking is almost invisible—factories can produce 1,000 bottles per minute using molten glass and compressed air, a process so automated and fast that you never see where your bottles come from.
