Etymology
The word 'rustle' originated from Middle English 'rustlen', which is related to the Middle Dutch 'roestelen' meaning 'to make a rattling noise'. It has been used since the 14th century to describe the soft crackling sound of dry leaves or paper moving. Over time, 'rustle' has become associated with the gentle, soothing sound of movement in nature, such as the rustling of leaves in the wind.
