Etymology

The word 'throb' originated from Middle English 'throbben', which is believed to be of imitative origin, representing the sound of a beating heart or pulse. Over time, it has evolved to describe both the action of beating with a strong rhythm and the sensation of a strong, regular pulse. The word has been used in English language for centuries to convey the idea of rhythmic pulsation or pounding.
