Facts: The word dogwood comes from dagwood, from the use of the slender stems of very hard wood for making 'dags' (daggers, skewers). The wood was also highly prized for making the shuttles of looms, for tool handles, and other small items that required a very hard and strong wood. Larger items were also made of dogwood such as the screw in basket-style wine or fruit presses. Another earlier name of the dogwood in English is the whipple-tree. Geoffrey Chaucer uses the word whippletree in the Canterbury Tales (The Knight's Tale, verse 2065) to refer to the dogwood. Another larger item made of dogwood still bears the name of the tree from which it is carved. The whippletree is an element of the traction of a horse-drawn cart, which links the drawpole of the cart to the harnesses of the horses in file. The name Dog-Tree entered English vocabulary by 1548, and had been further transformed to dogwood by 1614. It is possible that the common name of dogwood may have come because dogs were washed with a brew of its bark, hence dogwood.

Meaning: None
