Etymology: "Workbaskets" is the plural of "workbasket," a compound of "work" and "basket." The first element refers to handiwork or needlework, the sort of task a basket was kept beside, while "basket" traces back to a Middle English and Anglo-Norman root for a woven container. Joined together, the pair names a basket made for holding the materials of a craft in progress, such as yarn, thread, fabric scraps and tools.
