Etymology of CORRALLING

The word "corral" originates from the Spanish word "corral" which means an enclosure for animals, particularly livestock. The term was borrowed from the Spanish during the settlement of the American West in the 19th century, when Spanish-speaking cowboys and ranchers introduced their vocabulary to the English-speaking settlers. Eventually, "corral" was adopted into English and the verb "corral" emerged to describe the act of driving or gathering animals into a pen or enclosure. The use of "corralling" as a gerund form of "corral" stems from this verb.
