Etymology
The word 'fledgling' originated in the late 16th century from the Middle English word 'fleedged,' which meant having feathers or wings to fly. It is derived from the Old English word 'fledgan,' meaning to fly. Over time, 'fledgling' expanded its meaning to refer to both young birds learning to fly and inexperienced individuals learning new skills or trades.
