Etymology
The word 'dribble' comes from the Middle English word 'dribben', which meant to fall or trickle. It is thought to have derived from the Old English 'drฤซfan', meaning to drive or push. Its usage in sports, particularly basketball and soccer, began to gain popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries, where it specifically referred to the action of bouncing the ball with one's hands or feet. Over the years, 'dribble' evolved to describe not only the physical action itself but also the skills and techniques associated with maintaining ball control while moving. The term became a crucial part of sports vocabulary, emphasizing agility and precision in gameplay.
