Definition
Fine particles and powder created when wood is cut or sanded with a saw.
Etymology
From 'saw' (cutting tool, from Old English 'sagu') + 'dust' (fine particles). The compound term appeared around the 1600s as sawmilling became an industrial process.
Kelly Says
Sawdust was so valuable historically that mills sold it separately—it was used for insulation, animal bedding, explosives, and even as a food additive before modern regulations!
