Etymology of BUMBLE
The word "bumble" originated in the late 16th century and is ultimately derived from the Middle English word "bumblen", which meant to "make a humming or murmuring sound". It is believed to be onomatopoeic in nature, imitating the buzzing or humming sound made by bees or other insects. The word later developed to represent the clumsy or confused movement of insects, and eventually extended to describe the clumsy or awkward movement or behavior of humans.
