1: to roll oneself about in a lazy, relaxed, or ungainly manner
2: to billow forth : surge
3: to devote oneself entirely; especially : to take unrestrained pleasure : delight
Origin: before 12th century ;
Middle English walwen "to turn oneself over and over, writhe about, roll oneself in a substance, indulge oneself unrestrainedly," going back to Old English wealwian "to roll (of a round object), to roll from side to side (of a person or animal), roll in a substance," going back to Germanic *walwōjan-, iterative derivative of a base *walw-, also in Gothic afwalwjan "to roll away (an object)," atwalwjan "to roll up to," going back to Indo-European *u̯ol-u̯-, ablaut derivative of a base *u̯el-u̯-, whence Latin volvō, volvere "to set in a circular course, cause to roll" (< *u̯eluu̯ō), Greek eilýō, eilýein "to wrap round, envelop," Armenian gelum "to twist, squeeze";
* Note : The base *u̯el-u̯- is taken to be an extension of *u̯el- "roll"—see: etymology and note at {welter:1|welter:1}.;
