Cribbing

/ˈkrɪbɪŋ/ noun, verb, adjective

Definition

The act of plagiarizing or copying; in horses, the stereotypic behavior of biting or gnawing at a manger; wooden framework supporting a structure.

Etymology

From 'crib' plus '-ing' suffix. Multiple meanings evolved from the basic sense of 'crib': confine (plagiarism), the crib itself (animal behavior), and wooden structures (construction term).

Kelly Says

Cribbing in mining and construction involves stacking wooden logs in a specific pattern—this same technique has been used for centuries to provide temporary support in tunnels and was crucial for building railroads.
