Etymology
The word 'drool' originated from Middle English 'drivel' meaning 'to slaver, to slobber'. It is believed to have roots in Old English 'dreflian' and Proto-Germanic 'drab-'. Over time, the word evolved to its current form, used to describe the act of saliva flowing out of one's mouth involuntarily.
