Etymology

The word 'wrangle' originated from the Middle English term 'wrengen' which meant to twist or bend. It can be traced back to the Old English word 'wringan' which conveyed the idea of twisting or turning something, also related to the Old Norse 'hringa' meaning to ring or to encircle. Over the centuries, the term evolved to also include connotations of arguing or dispute, reflecting its usage in contexts where people might wrangle over opinions or disagreements. In contemporary language, particularly in technical fields like data science, wrangle has taken on a more specialized meaning, focusing on the processes of sorting and organizing data. The evolution of this word highlights the dynamic nature of language and how words can shift in meaning and usage over time, adapting to new contexts and practices.
