Etymology

The word 'tuck' has Old English origins, deriving from the word 'tucian,' which meant to pull or draw. Over the years, it evolved into various forms and usages, leading to the informal usage of 'tuckering.' In modern vernacular, adding the suffix '-ing' transforms 'tuck' into a continuous form, indicating an ongoing action. While 'tuck' originally referred to securing something by folding or tucking it away, 'tuckering' embodies a more relaxed and less formal engagement with this action, often associated with everyday tasks and informal interactions. The casual twist on the language reflects a broader trend in English where verbs take on new forms and connotations through everyday usage.
