Etymology

The word 'waggle' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the Middle Dutch word 'waggelen' which means 'to wag the tail'. It was first used to describe the movement of a dog's tail when it is excited or happy. Over time, the term evolved to encompass various rapid side-to-side movements, such as in dancing or shaking objects.
