waggle (WAG-uhl) - v., to move up and down or from side to side in a short, rapid manner.


Frequentive of wag formed in the 12th century as Middle English wagelen, though it's possibly instead/also a borrowing from Middle Low German wagelen. Wag itself is likely from a Norse source, from Proto-Germanic *wag-, from PIE root *wegh-, to go/move/transport.
