WADDLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Waddling is a verb that describes the manner in which certain animals or people move, characterized by a clumsy or awkward gait, typically marked by a side-to-side motion. It refers to a wobbling or swaying walk that is often seen in creatures with short legs and a rotund or bulky body shape, causing their bodies to sway from side to side as they move forward.
Typically associated with animals such as penguins, ducks, or geese, waddling involves a distinct rolling movement as they shift their weight from one foot to the other. This distinctive gait is a result of their body structure, short legs, and/or the presence of excess body fat. The swaying motion helps to balance their wide proportions and provides stability while they traverse their environment.
In a human context, waddling can also be used to describe a person's gait when they have difficulty walking due to various factors such as obesity, injury, or physical condition. It often involves a wide stance, with the hips and feet swinging from side to side as they take steps, resembling the way some animals move when waddling.
Overall, waddling entails a unique and recognizable walking pattern that is characterized by an ungainly side-to-side motion, most commonly associated with certain animals and occasionally observed in humans with specific conditions impacting their mobility.

Etymology of WADDLING
The word "waddling" is derived from the Middle English word "wadlen", which can be traced back to the Old English word "w忙delian", meaning "to walk with short steps" or "to wade". It is believed to have originated as an onomatopoeic representation of the sound made when someone or something moves with a heavy, clumsy gait, such as the motion of a duck or a penguin. The word has retained its meaning over time, referring to the awkward, rolling walk associated with certain animals or individuals.
