Etymology

The word 'maunder' has its origins in the early 16th century, derived from the Middle English term 'maundren,' which meant to complain or grumble. It is believed to have evolved from the Old French word 'maundre,' which also conveyed a sense of wandering or moving about aimlessly. The word began to take on the additional meaning of rambling speech as it was used more colloquially in the English language. Historically, the term has been associated with leisurely or aimless wandering, whether in thought or action. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass both the physical act of roaming and the verbal expression of unrelated thoughts.
