What crawl means

Where the word comes from
Crawl comes from Middle English crawlen, likely borrowed from Old Norse krafla, meaning to claw or scratch. The Norse word is related to Proto-Germanic *krablanan. The sense shifted from clawing motions to moving on hands and knees, then to swimming slowly. Dutch krabbelen shows a similar path.
