Etymology
The word 'frolicker' originates from the Middle Dutch word 'vrolijk', meaning 'merry or joyful'. The term evolved through the Old Dutch 'vrolik', which conveyed a sense of being cheerful or lively. It became popular in English literature during the 17th century, particularly in poetry and prose that described pastoral scenes and playful activities. The addition of the suffix '-er' indicates a person who engages in the action of 'frolicking,' emphasizing the spirited nature of the activities. Over time, 'frolicker' has come to represent not just playfulness but also a sense of freedom associated with being outdoors and enjoying life without worries.
