Etymology

The word 'trundle' has its origins in the late Middle English period, derived from the word 'trundlen,' which itself is a variant of the word 'trund.' The origins can be traced back to the Old English 'trundian,' meaning to roll or to turn around. This word reflects a broader linguistic heritage, related to other Germanic terms for rolling or spinning. Over time, 'trundle' evolved and became associated with the action of moving in a slow and steady manner, especially with a sense of heaviness or clumsiness. The transformation of 'trundle' from a simple action to a term describing certain objects, like trundle beds, showcases the word's versatility in the English language.
