Question: The term toddler is derived from the term "odd" which means strange.
Asked by RRR
Actually, that's not correct. The term "toddler" is not derived from the word "odd." The word **"toddler"** comes from the verb **"to toddle,"** which refers to walking unsteadily, as young children do when they are learning to walk. "Toddle" itself likely originated from the English dialect word "totter," which means to walk or move in a wavering or unsteady manner. So, "toddler" essentially means "a child who toddles." It has no etymological connection to the word "odd" or meanings involving strangeness.
