A horse walking.

Etymology [edit]

From Middle English walken ("to move, roll, turn, revolve, toss"), from Old English wealcan ("to move round, revolve, roll, turn, toss"), ġewealcan ("to go, traverse"); and Middle English walkien ("to roll, stamp, walk, wallow"), from Old English wealcian ("to curl, roll up"); both from Proto-Germanic *walkaną, *walkōną ("to twist, turn, roll about, full"), from Proto-Indo-European *walg-, *walk- ("to twist, turn, move"). Cognate with Scots walk ("to walk"), West Frisian swalkje ("to wander, roam"), Dutch walken ("to full, work hair or felt"), Dutch zwalken ("to wander about"), German walken ("to flex, full, mill, drum"), Danish valke ("to waulk, full"), Latin valgus ("bandy-legged, bow-legged"). More at vagrant.
