Etymology of DRIVELED

The word "driveled" is derived from the Middle English term "drivelen", which was borrowed from the Old Norse term "drafsla". In Old Norse, "drafsla" referred to the act of slavering or drooling from the mouth. Over time, the word evolved in Middle English to "drivelen", indicating the same meaning of flowing saliva or producing excessive saliva due to feebleness or senility. In the 17th century, the term "driveled" emerged as the past tense and past participle form of "drivelen", and it gained a figurative sense to describe someone who speaks or writes in a foolish or inconsequential manner.
