Etymology
The word 'wobbly' is derived from the Middle English term 'wobblien', which is akin to the dialectal 'wob' meaning to move unsteadily. The Old Norse word 'vobla' also reflects the idea of swaying or being shaky. Over time, the adjective 'wobbly' evolved to describe anything that has an unsteady or unstable characteristic. The formation of the superlative 'wobbliest' follows standard English rules for creating superlatives, adding '-iest' to the base form.
