Bommel

German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Initially North and West German variation of Bummel, from bummeln in the original sense of "to dangle". The permeation of the alternative vocalism across most of the language area was perhaps motivated by distinction from the re-derivation of Bummel (“(lazy) stroll”) from the modern sense of the verb, forming a doublet.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun

- bobble (on a cap)
Usage notes
