Picture a hundred very small pins touching your skin at once, too light to hurt, too many to ignore. That is a tingle. The word can stay on the skin, where cold or a knock puts it, or it can move inward, where a strong feeling puts it there instead — and the body cannot really tell the two apart.
From the word’s history
The source is honest that the origin is uncertain. One suggestion recorded there is a link to tinkle, from a word for a small ringing sound, which would put a faint, fine, repeating signal at the bottom of both words.
字源資料直說來源不確定。它提到的一個可能是這個字跟 tinkle(叮叮響)有關,都從一個表示細小聲響的老字來。如果這條線成立,可以想成兩個字底下都有同一個東西:又細又密、一直重複的小信號——一個給耳朵,一個給皮膚。
