The term "bit" originated from the Old English "bitta," meaning "a small piece," and has evolved to refer specifically to a tool used for cutting or boring into materials. "Dressing" comes from the Old French "drecier," meaning "to arrange" or "to dress up," which has been adopted in English to refer to the act of sharpening or preparing a cutting tool.
