词源：
lumber (n.)”timber sawn into rough planks for use,” 1660s, American English (Massachusetts), earlier “disused bit of furniture; heavy, useless objects” (1550s), of uncertain origin. It is said to be probably from lumber (v.1) on the notion of “awkward to move,” and perhaps to have been influenced by or associated with Lombard (q.v.), the Italian immigrant class famous as pawnbrokers (and money-lenders) in old England. Lumbar and Lumbard were old alternative forms of Lombard in English.
The evolution of sense then would be because a lumber-house (“pawn shop; place where thieves stash stolen property”) naturally accumulates odds and ends of furniture. The 19th century guess was that it comes directly from lumber-house or lumber-room in the pawn shop sense, but these are not attested before lumber (n.). Lumber camp is from 1839; lumber-mill is from 1830; lumber-yard is from 1777.
Live Lumber, soldiers or passengers on board a ship are so called by the sailors. [Grose, “Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue,” 1785]

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
lumber (n.)“木材锯成粗糙的木板以供使用”，1660 年代，美式英语（马萨诸塞州），早期的“废弃的家具；沉重的、无用的物体”（1550 年代），来源不确定。据说它可能源自木材 (v.1) 的“笨拙的移动”概念，并且可能受到伦巴第 (qv) 的影响或与之相关，伦巴第是意大利移民阶级，以典当商（和放债人）而闻名。 ）在古英格兰。 Lumbar 和 Lumbard 是英语中 Lombard 的古老替代形式。那么，意义的演变将是因为木屋（“当铺；小偷藏匿偷来的财产的地方”）自然地积累了家具的零碎物品。 19 世纪的猜测是，它直接来自当铺意义上的木材库或木材房，但这些在木材（n.）之前没有得到证实。木材营建于 1839 年；木材厂始建于 1830 年； lumber-yard源自1777年。水手们对活木材、船上的士兵或乘客的称呼。 [格罗斯，《粗俗语言词典》，1785 年] 相关条目及更多
