Origin:
The word "kerb" originates from the Old English verb "ceorfan," which means "to cut." This is because kerbs were originally cut into the ground to create a boundary or to support a structure. Over time, the word "kerb" came to refer to the raised edge or rim itself, rather than the act of cutting it.
