Etymology
The term 'trotting' originates from the Middle English word 'trot', which is derived from the Old French 'troter,' meaning to trot or jog. It has been in use since the 14th century to describe the specific way horses move. The etymology is somewhat related to the Proto-Germanic word which relates to the swift movement of animals. As horses played a significant role in transportation and agriculture throughout history, various gaits, including trotting, have been integral in training and riding practices. Over time, the word has adapted to not only encompass the movement of horses but also to metaphorically describe any kind of brisk, jogging gait in other contexts, such as running.
