What is a Trundle? - Understanding an Archaic Term for a Round Object

Trundles is a word that is not commonly used in modern English. It is an archaic or poetic term for a small, round object or container, such as a pot or a bowl. The word is derived from the Old Norse word "trundal," which means "round" or "circular."

In the past, trundles were often used to store food or other items, and they were typically made of clay, wood, or metal. The word is still found in some historical texts and poetry, but it is no longer commonly used in everyday language.

Here are a few examples of how trundles might be used in context:

* "The old woman carried a trundle of bread to the market."
* "The children played with a trundle of wooden toys."
* "The kitchen was filled with trundles of flour and sugar."
