Etymology of THROSTLING

The word "throstling" is derived from the Old English word "þrostle", which referred to the song thrush (a bird species). Over time, "þrostle" evolved into "throstle" in Middle English. The suffix "-ing" is a common diminutive in English, so the addition of "-ing" to "throstle" created "throstling", meaning a young or small thrush.
