One way to hold wallow: a heavy body lying down in something soft and wet, turning over slowly, with no wish at all to get out. Three parts carry over into every use — you are down inside it, you are moving slowly, and you are staying. What you are lying in can change: mud, warm water, sadness, old memories, a rough sea. The posture never changes.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary traces wallow to Old English wealwian 'to roll', from an older root meaning 'to turn, wind, roll'; Latin volvo 'roll, tumble' is a cousin. The rolling is still doing the work in every modern use.
Wiktionary 記錄 wallow 來自古英文 wealwian（滾動），再往上是一個意思為「轉、捲、滾」的古老字根，拉丁文的 volvō（滾、翻）同源。今天每一個意思裡，都還留著這個翻滾的動作。
