Etymology of BARRELLING

The word "barrelling" comes from the verb "barrel", which refers to the action of putting or packing something into a barrel. The etymology of "barrel" can be traced back to the Middle French word "baril", derived from the Old French "barel", which originally meant a wooden container for liquids. This word likely comes from a Germanic source related to the Old English "bearwe" or "berel", meaning a vessel or container. Ultimately, the origin of "barrel" can be linked to the Proto-Germanic word "barizla", which denoted a vessel made from staves. Thus, "barrelling" metaphorically alludes to the action of rolling or filling something into a barrel, similar to how items are packed or stored.
