Word origin
The word 'dwindling' originated from the Middle English word 'dwindlen', which is believed to have been influenced by the Old Norse word 'dvรญna', meaning to pine away. The concept of gradual decrease or shrinkage has been associated with this word since the 16th century, reflecting the idea of something diminishing in size, amount, or strength over time.
