Gamboller

/ˈɡæbələr/ noun

Definition

British spelling variant of 'gamboler'; one who gambols or plays about energetically.

Etymology

From 'gambol' (with doubled 'l') + '-er' suffix. Maintains the British spelling convention of the doubled 'l' from the infinitive form through derived words.

Kelly Says

The British spelling 'gamboller' with its double 'l' actually looks more energetic and bouncy—two 'l's for extra bounce! It's a small detail, but spelling variations like this show how different English-speaking countries developed their own orthographic traditions.
