Etymology

The word 'barrelling' is derived from the noun 'barrel', which originates from the Old French 'baril', meaning a cask or container. This term evolved in the Middle Ages to describe cylindrical containers used for storage, primarily of liquids such as wine or beer. The verb 'barrel' emerged to express the action of moving or traveling inside or like a barrel. The formation of the verb 'barrelling' indicates a progressive action, suggesting a forceful and swift movement akin to the rolling of a barrel. Over time, the term has adopted broader applications in various contexts, including sports, transportation, and casual descriptions of rapid movement.
