Etymology of SHRUGGED

The word "shrugged" comes from the verb "to shrug", which originated from the Middle English word "schroggen" or "shruggen". This Middle English root is thought to be derived from the Old Norse word "skrukka", meaning "to crouch" or "to cower". Over time, "to shrug" evolved to specifically refer to the action of raising and lowering the shoulders as an expression of doubt, indifference, or uncertainty.
