Etymology

The word "stroll" likely originated in the early 17th century, possibly from German strolchen ("to stroll, loiter") or dialectal strollen ("to wander aimlessly"). Its exact roots are unclear, but it may be related to the idea of meandering or rambling without a fixed path. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote a relaxed, unhurried walk, often for pleasure.
