Etymology

The word 'thrumming' comes from the Middle English term 'thrumen', which means 'to make a low, continuous sound, usually vibrating.' This term is related to the Old Norse word 'thruma', meaning 'to hum' or 'thrum'. Over the centuries, the term evolved to encompass various meanings related to rhythmic sounds or vibrations, often associated with comfort or music. In modern usage, it can describe both natural sounds, like those made by insects or nature, and mechanical noises, such as engines or machines. 'Thrumming' suggests a sense of continuity and is often tied to soothing or meditative experiences.
