DOODLE Meaning and Definition

  1. Doodle is a noun that refers to a simple, often spontaneous, drawing or sketch made absentmindedly while daydreaming or during leisure time. It is typically created with no specific purpose or intention and carries a sense of informality and playfulness.

    As a verb, doodle means to draw or sketch absentmindedly or idly, often during meetings, lectures, or other situations where one's attention is otherwise occupied. It involves making random or unstructured marks, shapes, or patterns on paper as a form of expression or relaxation.

    Doodles are often characterized by their simplicity, whimsical nature, and lack of precision. They may consist of abstract lines, figures, or patterns, or even represent recognizable objects, animals, or characters. The creation of doodles is not limited to any particular medium or tool and can be made using pens, pencils, markers, or even digital drawing software.

    Doodling can provide a creative outlet, a means of brainstorming, or a way to alleviate boredom or stress. It is often considered a form of self-expression, as doodles can reflect the inner thoughts, emotions, or interests of the individual creating them.

    The term "doodle" originated in the early 17th century from the German word "dudeltopf" or "dödeln," which means to make a fool of oneself or to waste time. Over time, it evolved to its current usage and became associated with the act of absentminded drawing or scribbling.

  2. A trifler; a simpleton.
