Definition
Flowing slowly in small amounts or drops; moving gradually in a thin stream.
Etymology
From Middle English 'tricklen,' possibly imitative of the sound water makes or derived from Old Norse 'trika' (to run). The word has always described slow, continuous movement of liquid.
Kelly Says
The word 'trickle' is probably onomatopoetic—it might literally imitate the sound of slow water, which is why 'trickle-down economics' sounds so sneaky and slow, as if wealth is supposed to dribble down to everyone eventually!
