Common Misspellings for TUSSLING
Etymology of TUSSLING
The word "tussling" is derived from the verb "tussle", which first appeared in the mid-16th century. The exact origin of "tussle" is uncertain, but it is believed to have developed as a variation of the word "touse" or "touze" which was in use in Middle English. "Touse" originally meant to pull roughly or tear, and it can be traced back to the Old English word "tūs", meaning a tuft or lock of hair. Over time, "touse" evolved to "tussle", which started to be used with the sense of struggling or grappling in a physical or metaphorical sense. From "tussle" came the gerund form "tussling" as a noun or a verb in its own right.
