Etymology

The word 'trill' originates from the mid-16th century, derived from the Italian word 'trillo', which translates to 'a roll' or 'a trill'. It is closely related to the Latin word 'tremulus', meaning 'trembling' or 'quivering'. The term originally described a style of singing or instrument playing characterized by the rapid alternation between notes or sounds, creating a tremulous effect. Over time, the usage of 'trill' expanded to include various forms of expressive sound production, including bird calls and human vocalizations. The word has maintained its core association with rapid, repeating sounds, reflecting the joyful or lively nature of the actions it describes.
