Strolling is walking along or through at a leisurely pace. Strolling is a pastime and activity enjoyed world wide as a leisure activity. The object of strolling is to walk at a slightly slower pace in an attempt to absorb the surroundings. Works featuring the ''flâneur'', a French term defined as “strolling urban observer”, have appeared in European and American literature since the late 18th century. ==Etymology== The verb form of "stroll" may have originated from a c.1600 Cant word. This word may have been derived from the German word ''strollen'', which in itself is a derivative of the German word ''strolchen'', which means "to roam, travel about aimlessly, drift, rove."〔http://www.dictionarist.com/strolchen〕 The German noun ''strolch'' refers to any sort of vagabond or rogue. Before the American Revolution, a stroller was the British word for a vagabond. The noun stroll came from the verb in 1814. The term "stroller" was coined in the 1920s as a "child’s push-chair.".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 The modern-day usage of the word "stroll" does not differ greatly from its older derivatives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「strolling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
