Etymology
The word 'tinkle' originated from the Middle English word 'tinklen', which is imitative of the sound made by a small bell or light metal object. Over time, it has evolved to be used in various contexts, including describing the sound of rain or wind chimes, as well as a euphemism for urination, especially in a playful or childish manner.
