Wagon was pronounced ‘wagan’ in Saxon times. In medieval English it lost the central consonant and became ‘wain’ -- that why Constable’s painting of a farm cart fording a river is called ‘The Hay Wain’ and not ‘The Hay Wagon.’ . . . . If the cargo isn’t tied down well, it will roll from side to side on the ‘wagon-bed’ and that’s the source of ‘wagging,’ as well as ‘waggling.’ The other problem if your possession aren’t safely secured, is that some joker will steal them -- he’s a wag-halter,’ of what we would call a ‘waggish’ fellow. - page 246 - “Written in Stone” Author - Christopher Stevens
