Etymology

The word 'crawl' originates from Middle English 'crawlen', which comes from the Old English 'crลซwian', meaning 'to move slowly or with difficulty'. The term has roots in Germanic languages, likened to the Old Norse 'krลซla', leading to the modern sense of moving on hands and knees. Historically, crawling was seen as a primary mode of movement for infants and was an essential developmental milestone. Over time, 'crawl' has extended beyond literal movement to convey actions or processes that unfold slowly or gradually, such as 'crawling through a task'.
