Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'lullen', likely of imitative origin (echoing sounds used to quiet infants, similar to Old Norse 'lulla' and Dutch 'lollen'). Over centuries, the term evolved from specifically describing the soothing of a baby to sleep to encompass any action that calms, quiets, or creates a false sense of security.
