Word origin

The word 'drool' originates from the Middle English term 'droulen' or 'droule,' which is believed to have roots in the Old English word 'drฤ“ogan,' meaning to suffer or endure. The connection to saliva likely developed over time as the involuntary act became associated with simple, base reactions, particularly in terms of receptiveness to food. By the mid-19th century, 'drool' had evolved to describe both the physical act of salivating and, in a more informal sense, an intense desire for something. The evolution of the term reflects changes in societal attitudes towards food and desire, illustrating a shift from mere physical necessity to a more emotional response.
