I love having the ‘compact’ OED available for reference. Today I’m looking up the word “shoggle”. I was trying to see if it was derived from shuckling (from Yiddish) used to describe movements during prayer.

@BestofTimes Is that the one that comes with the magnifying glass?

@BestofTimes

So...what did you find out?!
It's got a related meaning, but goes back to late-Medieval England...so if it's not *from the Yiddish, did it develop in parallel?

@petebrown that’s the one. But my old eyes with no glasses can see atoms!

@jessekelber couldn’t really see an origin but may look further tomorrow.

@BestofTimes

Aw, man...deflating. 😎
I keep running into paywalls...my usual etymological searches are easy enough with the free sites, this one's proving trickier...🤨
