WIMBLE Meaning and Definition

1. Wimble is a noun that refers to a type of hand-held auger or drilling tool, typically with a spiral-shaped blade or point. It is designed for boring or drilling holes in wood or other materials. The word originates from the Old English word "wimble," which means "a boring tool" or "a gimlet."

   This term can also be used as a verb, meaning to drill or bore a hole using a wimble tool. It may often be associated with manual labor or craftsmanship, particularly in carpentry or woodworking. The action of using a wimble involves rotating the tool while applying pressure to its handle or using a handle to rotate the tool. The spiral-shaped blade or point facilitates easier penetration and removal of material as it drills into the surface.

   The size and design of a wimble can vary, with variations such as a brace wimble, which features a brace for additional force and stability during drilling. Wimbles can also be used to extract material from a hole, such as removing a wooden peg or dowel. In some cases, the term "wimble" may be used more broadly to describe any type of hand-powered drilling or boring tool.

   In summary, a wimble is a versatile hand-operated tool used for drilling or boring holes in wood or other materials. It is characterized by its spiral-shaped blade or point and can be used for a variety of woodworking or related tasks.

Etymology of WIMBLE

The word "wimble" has evolved from Middle English "wymble", which in turn originated from Old English "wimble" or "wymbel". The Old English term was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*wambilaz". The Proto-Germanic root gave rise to various related words in Germanic languages, such as Old Norse "vǫmbull" and Middle Dutch "wemel". The root ultimately comes from the Proto-Indo-European base "*wembh-", meaning to turn or twist. Over time, the meaning of "wimble" shifted, and it now refers specifically to a type of boring tool or auger.
