Etymology
The word 'tuck' originates from the Middle English term 'tukken' or 'tucken', which means to draw together or to fold. It can be traced back to the Old English 'tucian', which shares roots with similar terms in Germanic languages describing the action of tucking or folding. Historically, 'tuck' has been associated with various meanings related to configuring, folding, or securing objects in an orderly manner. Over time, the verb form evolved to include different contexts, such as tucking in clothes, tucking in napkins during dining, and even tucking in children at bedtime. As language progressed, the usages expanded, leading to a broader application in everyday speech, tying it to notions of neatness and organization.
