Etymology

The word 'trundle' originates from the Middle English term 'trundlen,' which itself comes from the Old English word 'trundian.' This Old English term meant 'to roll' or 'to turn,' reflecting the action associated with the word. The concept of rolling has been an integral part of various languages due to the prominence of wheeled vehicles in society. The usage of 'trundle' has evolved over the centuries, capturing both the physical action of rolling and the imagery of an unhurried or undisciplined movement. Over time, it has found its place in both everyday language and literary contexts, illustrating a sense of whimsicality in movement.
