TRICKLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Trickling is a verb that refers to the continuous, slow, and steady movement or flow of a liquid substance. It typically describes the action of small amounts of a liquid moving in a gradual and gentle manner, often down a surface or through a particular pathway.
The term is commonly used to describe the way water or another liquid slowly and smoothly moves, with a distinct pattern of droplets or a thin stream. Unlike a rapid or forceful flow, trickling involves a more delicate and leisurely movement. This can occur when water drips from a faucet, when rainwater slowly descends a windowpane, or when a river slowly meanders through a rocky landscape.
Trickling can also be used metaphorically to describe a slow and gradual process, such as the gradual passing of time, the release of information, or the spreading of news among individuals or groups. In these contexts, trickling often implies a restrained or careful manner of occurrence that may not draw immediate attention but eventually adds up to a substantial result.
Overall, trickling depicts the soft, subtle, and gradual movement of a liquid or the implications of a similar kind of gradual process in various contexts.

Etymology of TRICKLING
The word "trickling" is derived from the Middle English word "trikelen", which evolved from the Old English word "tricelan". This Old English term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "trikilōną", meaning "to fall in drops" or "to drip". The root of "trickling" ultimately stems from the Proto-Indo-European base *drek-, which carries the sense of "moist" or "dripping".
