Etymology

The term 'wangling' dates back to the mid-19th century and is believed to have originated in British slang. The derivation of the word is somewhat uncertain; it may be derived from an older English dialect word 'wangle,' which means to achieve something by clever contrivance or manipulation. This suggests a sense of craftiness or slyness in obtaining what one desires. The usage of 'wangling' has evolved to encompass both light-hearted manipulation as well as more serious deceptive tactics. The word is often employed in contexts involving negotiation or persuasion, where there's an element of cleverness or trickery involved in getting one's way.
