Word origin
The word 'rollicking' traces its origins back to the early 19th century in English. It's believed to be derived from the verb 'rollick,' which means to revel or romp about in a lively or carefree manner. This term possibly amalgamated elements from 'roly-poly,' a term denoting a playful, rolling movement, and perhaps even influences from older dialect words in English that conveyed a sense of merriment or joviality. Over time, 'rollicking' has maintained a sense of light-heartedness and enjoyable exuberance, often associated with fun gatherings or playful activities.
