- 1伐木、伐木業
Logging is the work of cutting down trees in a forest and taking the wood away. It is an industry word: a logging company, a logging town, a ban on logging. In a news story it can sound like a job; in an environment story it can sound like damage to a forest — same work, different feeling, depending on who is talking. It is the activity built from log: making logs from standing trees. This is not “logging in” to a website, and it is not a computer writing a record of what it did, though English uses logging for that too.
From the word’s history
log + -ing; log is of uncertain origin, probably from Old Norse lóg, lág 'felled tree'.
log 加 -ing；log 來源不明，可能來自古諾斯語 lág「倒下的樹」。
組成log (a cut tree-trunk) + -ing (the work of doing it).
