wood from oak trees; the hard, dense timber from oak, known for its strength and use in furniture and building.
Compound word from 'oak' (Old English 'āc') and 'wood' (Old English 'wudu'). Oak has been highly valued timber for over 1000 years, and the compound name emphasizes its specific woody material.
Medieval ships, church beams, and old furniture were built from oak because it can last literally 1000+ years without rotting—some oak trees alive today are older than the American Revolution!
