Etymology
The word blacksmith comes from old words black ('dark' or 'sooty') and smith ('one who hits' or 'makes things by hammering'), the same smith you see in silversmith. So a blacksmith is a person who heats metal and hits it with a hammer to make or fix tools, and the fire and smoke often made both the metal and the worker look black.
