Word origin
The word 'tingle' originated in the early 16th century, derived from Middle English 'tinglen', which means 'to tinkle' or 'to make a quick, sharp sound'. It is likely related to the Old English word 'tincian', meaning 'to tinkle, to chirp', and it is also connected to the concept of a light, sharp sensation. Over time, the meaning of 'tingle' evolved to describe a specific kind of sensory experience that is both physical and emotional. In modern usage, 'tingled' is often associated with moments that evoke strong feelings or sensations, whether positive or negative.
