Etymology
Sheetrock comes from two simple words: sheet ('a flat piece') and rock ('a kind of stone'), because the boards are made from a soft rock pressed into flat sheets. It began as a brand name for this kind of drywall, and now people often use Sheetrock to mean any drywall, so thinking 'sheet' + 'rock' helps you remember what it is.
