Etymology

The word 'lolling' originates from the Middle English term 'lollen', which means to fall or tumble. It is derived from the Old Norse word 'lolla', indicating a kind of lazy movement or behavior. The word has evolved over time to encompass a more specific sense of lounging or reclining in a relaxed manner. By the 15th century, 'loll' began to take on its modern connotation of idleness or relaxed posture. In contemporary usage, 'lolling' is often used to describe both human and animal behavior when they are in a state of comfort and ease, emphasizing a laid-back attitude towards life.
