Etymology
The word 'gamboled' originates from the verb 'gambol,' which derived from the Middle French word 'gamboler' meaning 'to hop on one leg' or 'to frolic.' This Middle French term itself is traced back to the word 'gambe,' which means 'leg' in Old French and Latin. The playful connotation associated with this term likely reflects the lively and energetic movements suggested by the word's etymology. The usage of 'gamboled' in English to depict playful movement has been in existence since the early 17th century, and it is often seen in literary contexts where it evokes a sense of childhood innocence, joy, and carefree behavior.
