Word origin
The word 'startle' originated in the late Middle English period, derived from the Middle Low German word 'starlen', meaning 'quicken'. Over time, it evolved to its current usage in the English language, focusing on the sudden shock or alarm reaction. The concept of being startled has been a common human experience throughout history, often linked to survival instincts and the body's fight-or-flight response.
