Etymology
Strawboard is made from two simple words: straw, the 'dry stalks' left after grain is harvested, and board, a 'flat, stiff sheet' for covers and boxes. So strawboard is literally a 'board made from straw', which helps explain its modern meaning as a coarse cardboard used for packaging and book covers.
