Etymology
The word 'bowl' comes from the Middle English word 'boul', which originated from the Old French 'bol', meaning 'a ball' or 'a round object'. This Old French term is derived from the Latin 'bulla', which translates to 'bubble' or 'is round'. The evolution of the term reflects the use of spherical objects in various games and activities throughout history. The modern sense of 'bowl' as a verb arose in the 19th century, particularly in reference to the sport of bowling. 'Bowled' thus began to appear in contexts centered around both bowling alleys and cricket fields, establishing itself within sporting terminologies.
