Etymology of TRUCKLING

The word "truckling" derives from the Middle English verb "trukilen", which means "to submit to the desires or demands of another". This verb originated from the Old English word "troclian", meaning "to become submissive" or "to worship". The etymology of "truckling" can be traced back to the Old English noun "truht", meaning "a wheel with a pulley". This word conceptualized yielding or giving into external forces, much like a wheel giving way to a pulley's motion. Over time, the verb "trukilen" evolved into the adjective "truckling", which refers to someone who behaves subserviently or fawningly.
