Etymology
The term 'yawled' originates from the mid-19th century, derived from the noun 'yawl', which is a type of small boat used for sailing. The word 'yawl' itself comes from the Dutch word 'jol', meaning a small ship or boat. Over time, the usage of yawled transformed from its nautical roots to encompass the action of yawning, particularly emphasizing the act of yawning widely or excessively. This evolution in usage reflects a broader trend in the English language where terms related to physical actions can take on additional meanings in more abstract contexts. The appearance of 'yawled' is rare, and it is often relegated to literary works, emphasizing the vivid imagery of fatigue or boredom that comes with yawning.
