Etymology

The term 'tootled' is a playful derivation of the verb 'tootle,' which itself might have originated from an imitation of the sound associated with tooting, like the sound of a horn or whistle. The word was likely influenced by the adjective 'toot,' which describes a short, sharp sound made by a horn, and has been in informal use since at least the 19th century. The informal nature of 'tootle' reflects a sense of lightness or casualness, which can be appealing in conversational English. Over time, 'tootled' evolved to imply not just sound but also movement, depicting a cheerful and carefree way of departing or moving about. It may have gained traction in children's literature and casual dialogue, contributing to its whimsical connotation. As a result, 'tootled' remains popular in informal settings, evoking imagery of light-hearted escapades.
