Etymology
The word 'squiggly' comes from the Middle English word 'squigle', which is thought to be an onomatopoeic term, mimicking the sound of something twisting or turning. It likely has roots in the word 'squiggle', which emerged in the early 20th century and was probably influenced by 'squirm' or other similar-sounding words.

Over time, the term has been adopted in various contexts, including art, literature, and informal speech, to convey a sense of whimsy or playful chaos.
