The term "lumberjack" originated in the late 19th century in North America and is believed to be a combination of "lumber" and "jack," where "jack" was a common name for a man or worker. Lumberjacks were skilled laborers who cut down trees and processed timber for the lumber industry. The name reflects their role in the harvesting of lumber, which was a vital resource during the expansion of the American frontier. Over time, "lumberjack" became synonymous with the rugged, hardworking men who toiled in forests.
