Etymology of BRAWLING
The word "brawling" is derived from the verb "brawl", which has its origins in the late Middle English period. It entered the language around the 14th century. The term is thought to be of uncertain origin, but several theories exist.
One theory suggests it originated from the Old French word "brailler", which meant "to cry or shout". Another possibility is that it comes from the Middle Dutch word "brallen", meaning "to brag or boast". Both of these words can be associated with noisy, quarrelsome behavior, which aligns with the sense of brawling.
Alternatively, some experts believe that "brawl" might have in Old English roots, specifically from the word "breawl", meaning "to quarrel or dispute". Yet another theory suggests that it could be related to an old Scandinavian word, such as the Old Norse "brá", meaning "quarrel".
