Etymology

The word 'pebbles' originated from the Old English word 'papolstฤn', which meant 'pebblestone'. Pebbles have been used for various purposes throughout history, such as in construction, decoration, and even in games like marbles. They are commonly found near bodies of water, where the constant movement and erosion shape them into smooth, rounded stones.
