Etymology

The word 'gamboling' originates from the Middle English word 'gambol', which stems from the Anglo-French 'gamboller'. The term is believed to derive from the Old French 'gambade', which means a 'leap' or 'jump'. This is related to 'gambe', meaning 'leg'. The notion of gamboling has been tied to playful movements and antics, especially those that involve leaping or skipping. Over time, the use of the word has broadened to describe not only such movements in children and animals but also any joyful act of play. The earliest recorded use of 'gambol' in English dates back to the 14th century, showcasing its long-standing association with lightheartedness and cheerful activity. As language evolved, 'gamboling' became a rich term representative of exuberant motion, whether in nature or through human play.
