stroller
UK: ˈstrəʊlə | US: ˈstroʊlər
n. a chair on wheels for pushing a baby or small child around in
n. (dated) a person who strolls; a leisurely walker
The word "stroller" originates from the verb "stroll" (early 17th c., from Dutch struilen "to wander aimlessly") combined with the agentive suffix "-er." Originally, it referred to a person who strolls. By the late 19th century, it evolved to denote a baby carriage, likely due to the leisurely, relaxed motion associated with pushing one. The shift reflects how tools often take names from the actions they facilitate.
