Origin of the word travelling

The word "travelling" stems from the Old English word "trafelan," meaning "to toil" or "to labor." This likely reflects the effort and hardship often involved in travel. The "ing" ending signifies the act of travelling. "Trafelan" itself has roots in the Proto-Germanic word "traban," meaning "to toil," which is further linked to the Proto-Indo-European word "treb," meaning "to work." Over time, the meaning of "trafelan" evolved to encompass the idea of movement and journey, eventually becoming "travelling" as we know it today.
