the original mobility tech, predating wheels by roughly two million years.
means A person who walks, or a frame on legs that a person leans on to walk more steadily.
from From Old English 'wealcan,' meaning to roll, toss, or tumble about — the same root that gave us 'to walk.' Curiously, the early sense leaned toward kneading and treading: a 'walker' was once a fuller, someone who trampled wet cloth underfoot to thicken it, a trade preserved in surnames like Walker. The mobility-frame meaning is a 20th-century arrival, bolted on once the verb's plainer 'one who walks' had long settled in.
