Etymology of EBBING

The word "ebbing" can be traced back to the Old English verb "ebban", which means "to flow back or away". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic root "ebjaną", meaning "to move away or retreat". This root is also related to the Old Norse word "efna", meaning "to ebb". The word "ebbing" originally referred to the receding movement of the tide, but its usage has expanded to describe any gradual decline or decrease.
