Etymology
The word razorblade comes from two simple parts: razor and blade. A helpful way to remember it is that razor comes from an old word meaning 'to scrape' and blade meant 'leaf' or the flat sharp part, as in a 'blade of grass', so a razorblade is the very thin, sharp edge used to 'scrape' hair away or make fine cuts.
