Dustrag

/ˈdʌstræɡ/ noun

Definition

A cloth or rag used for dusting surfaces and removing dust from furniture or objects.

Etymology

Compound of 'dust' and 'rag' (from Old Norse 'rogg', meaning tuft or shaggy hair). This practical household term emerged naturally from combining the material with its function.

Kelly Says

Dustrags are one of the oldest cleaning tools humans invented—basically any cloth works, which is why the word is so simple and timeless. Ancient civilizations used similar rags, just with different names.
