Etymology

The word 'gambolled' originates from the Middle English term 'gambolen,' which means to leap or jump. The root of this word can be traced back to the Old French 'gambader,' which also means to skip or leap. The term 'gambol' has its roots in the concept of movement associated with joy and playfulness, particularly in animals. Over the centuries, the usage of 'gambol' has evolved, and it became popular in literary contexts to describe not just the physical activity but also the joy and lightheartedness associated with such movements. This playful connotation has remained intact, making it a fitting term for describing children and young animals engaged in spirited physical activities.
