means To play and move about cheerfully and energetically, often skipping or romping in pure high spirits.
from From Dutch 'vrolijk,' meaning merry or cheerful — itself built from 'vro' (glad, joyful) plus the adjective ending '-lijk' (like our '-ly'). English borrowed it in the 1500s, first as an adjective meaning 'joyful,' and only later did it learn to leap about as a verb. The 'vro-' root is a cousin of German 'froh,' also meaning glad — a whole little family of Germanic gladness.
