Etymology
The word 'paddle' originates from the Middle English term 'padel', which in turn comes from the Old French 'padele' and possibly from the Latin 'pala', meaning 'shovel' or 'spade'. It has historically referred to a tool used for digging or scooping, but over time, it evolved to specifically refer to the instrument used in watercraft to move through water. The first known use of 'paddle' as it relates to a boat oar dates back to the 15th century. The concept of paddling as a recreational activity has grown considerably, especially in the context of canoeing and kayaking, making it popular worldwide.
