土木 is a Japanese word that means "civil engineering". It is composed of the Kanji 土 (tsuchi), which means "earth" or "soil", and 木 (ki), which means "wood" or "tree". The etymology of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when Japan underwent a great development in infrastructure construction, such as roads, bridges and canals.
