Etymology of THROBBING

The word "throbbing" is derived from the Middle English "throb", which originally meant to throb or pulsate. The English term can be traced further back to the Proto-Germanic root word "threbjan" and the Old Norse word "þrobba", both of which had similar meanings of trembling or palpitating.
