Etymology

The term 'knoll' originates from Middle English 'knolle', which means a small hill or mound. This word is derived from the Old English 'cnoll', which carries the same meaning, pointing to its connection with a rounded hill. The suffix '-ed' indicates the past tense or a completed action when forming 'knolled'. In literature and poetry, knolling is often used to evoke images of serene landscapes where sounds travel through tranquil environments. The evolution of the word reflects its usage in various forms of English, illustrating how it has maintained a close relation to nature and geometry. Knolling, as both a noun and a verb, symbolizes not just a physical action but also an auditory experience, linking visual and aural elements in description.
