That surprises me to hear--I _know_ I've heard/seen the usage altho I don't know that could put my hands on an example.
I remember getting a kick when last over there of the sign for a cabinetmaker's shop of "Joinery for Purpose"...not a phrase one would see over here; it'd just be "Custom-built" or "Custom-made".

It's entirely possible I'm not familiar with the career path that would cause someone to use that expression.
I've never seen Joinery for Purpose.

C clamp in the center of the U.S. This is a farming area if that matters.

Dates from the "wayback" machine...when have you _ever_ seen the term in advertising a commercial cabinet shop in the US? Since the early 20th century, _maybe_?

C clamp, G string. Don't confuse the two. I'll admit the C clamps usually look more like G's.

I've sometimes wondered if 'capo' is related to 'capon' in some way.

Quaint name, but I wonder how many non-woodworkers know what it means.

We do. It's an intransitive verb that is usually only actioned by musculature:
- Due to the cold, my fist cramped closed.
- Don't yawn too hard or your digastricus might cramp.
I suppose that it is also correct to designate 'to cramp' a transitive verb which requires musculature as a direct object. It is possible to deliberately cramp a muscle, but normally this is not done due to the pain involved.
