'jogging' originates from the English word 'jog', which is believed to have been derived from the Middle English 'joggen', meaning 'to move with a slight push or nudge'.

'jog' changed from the Middle English word 'joggen' and eventually became the modern English word 'jog'.

Initially, it meant 'to move with a slight push or nudge', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'running at a slow, steady pace'.
