Etymology: "Worksites" is simply the plural of "worksite," so its history is that of the two words it combines. "Work" comes from Old English "weorc," a word for deeds, labor, and things made, and it has been part of English since the earliest records. "Site" comes from Latin "situs," meaning a location or position, which passed into English through French. Put together, a worksite is a place where work is done, and the plural names several such places at once.

Synonyms: job sites, construction sites, workplaces, locations, sites
