Word origin
The verb 'wending' originates from the Old English word 'wendan', which means 'to turn or to go'. This term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word '*wandijanan', which also indicated a turning or bending motion. Over centuries, the usage of 'wending' has evolved, but it has maintained its core meaning related to movement. The word carries connotations of both direction and purpose, often used in poetic or descriptive contexts to evoke imagery of a gentle journey. In literature, 'wending' frequently appears in descriptions of nature or travel, reflecting a certain tranquility in the movement itself.
