Etymology

The word 'frolic' originates from the early 16th century, derived from the Middle Dutch word 'frolic', meaning 'merry' or 'joyful'. Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic term '*frลlฤซks', which also means 'joyous'. The suffix '-ing' was added to create the present participle form, 'frolicking', which emphasizes the action of frolic. The term has evolved over time but has maintained its cheerful connotation, often used to describe the lively and spirited movements of children and animals. In literature and poetry, 'frolicking' is frequently associated with the innocent pleasures of youth and nature, making it a beloved word in various contexts.
