Etymology
The word 'trudge' has its origins in the mid-17th century, derived from the earlier term 'trudgen', which even then meant to walk laboriously. It likely stems from the Middle English word 'trudgen', appearing as a variant in the Middle Dutch word 'troggin', which means to walk heavily or laboriously. The development of the word reflects the physical effort and determination associated with striding through tough environments, such as in deep snow or rough terrain. Over time, 'trudge' has maintained its connotation of laborious movement, often evoking imagery of exhaustion or perseverance during challenging situations.
