Etymology of TRIMMING
The word "trimming" originated from the Middle English term "trimmen", which meant "to prepare or make ready". It is derived from the Old English word "trymman", meaning "to arrange or put in order". The Old English term itself has Germanic roots, tracing back to the Old Norse word "trimma" and the Old High German word "trimmen". These ultimately derive from the Proto-Germanic word "trumjan", which means "to make firm or strong". Over time, the meaning of "trimming" expanded to include the act of adding ornamentation or decoration, particularly in reference to clothing or other objects.
