Etymology

The word 'jingle' can be traced back to the early 15th century. Originating from the Middle English 'jinglen,' which is an onomatopoeic term itself, it is meant to imitate the sound it describes. The suffix '-ed' is used to form the past tense, hence 'jingled' denotes the action that has already occurred. Throughout history, jingling sounds have been associated with various cultural traditions, especially in Western festivities. Over time, it has also evolved into a term popular in music and advertising, where catchy jingles are composed to evoke emotions and capture the audience's attention. The playful nature of the word has secured its place in both casual and formal language.
