Word origin

Inherited from Middle English trenayl; equivalent to tree + nail.

Used in a sentence

  • OPERATION—The wood for the treenail is fixed in G; the balance wheel is then moved....
  • Long treenails were quite difficult to drive, often being damaged in the process, with ends becoming "broomed", or worse, split, necessitating the head being trimmed, or far worse, the removal of the treenail.
