Etymology
The word 'nibbled' is the past tense of the verb ' nibble,' which has its origins in Middle English 'niblen' meaning to eat or take small bites. This term likely evolved from the Old English 'nib' or 'nibble,' which referred to the action of biting. The roots of the word suggest a focus on small and careful eating habits, often associated with animals or children. The usage of this word has remained consistent through the centuries, symbolizing a gentle and casual approach to consuming food. Nibbling encompasses the idea of savoring food rather than consuming it quickly, which reflects a more leisurely attitude towards eating.
