To move in a straggling or disorderly manner; to wander or spread out unevenly (archaic or dialectal).
Possibly from 'brag' with the diminutive or frequentative suffix '-le' (as in 'haggle,' 'waggle,' 'giggle'), or from dialectal sources. The '-le' ending often creates verbs suggesting repeated or restless motion. This is a very archaic term with limited modern usage outside specialized dialectal or historical contexts.
