The word "mewled" is derived from the Middle English word "mewelen", which dates back to the 14th century. It originally stemmed from the Old English word "mǣwlian", meaning "to cry like a gull" or "to wail". The term later evolved into "mewling", native to Middle English, which broadly referred to the utterance of a high-pitched, feeble cry like that of a newborn infant. Over time, "mewled" emerged as the past tense and past participle form of "mewl", commonly used to describe someone or something that has emitted such sounds or cries.
