Word origin
The word 'jiggle' originated in the late 17th century, deriving from the English dialect term 'jig' which means to dance, and 'jiggle' itself was created as a combination of 'jig' and the frequentative suffix '-le'. The motion inferred by jiggling has been associated with light and playful movements, reminiscent of the quick, lively steps of a dancer. It gained further popularity in the 20th century, especially in informal contexts, used to describe both physical actions and sometimes playful teasing among individuals. Over time, 'jiggling' has found its place in various expressions linked to light-heartedness and fun, leading to its common use in contemporary vernacular.
