Origin of the word playing

The word "playing" comes from the Old English word "plegian," which meant "to play." It's related to the Dutch word "spelen" and the German word "spielen," all stemming from the Proto-Germanic word "speliōn." This word, in turn, likely originated from the Proto-Indo-European root "spel," meaning "to speak" or "to tell." This connection hints at the ancient connection between play and storytelling, as well as the importance of language in human play.
