Etymology

The word 'curler' originated from the term 'curling,' which is derived from the Scottish word 'curl,' meaning to twist or to curl. The sport of curling has its roots in 16th century Scotland, where it was played on frozen ponds and lakes. Early curlers used stones with natural handles, which eventually evolved into the standardized granite stones used today. The term 'curler' began to gain popularity in the early 20th century with the establishment of formal curling clubs and competitions. The spread of the sport, particularly in Canada and other countries, further solidified 'curler' as a common term for those who play this unique sport.
