Karoling

/ˈkærəlɪŋ/ UK

Where it comes from

From Medieval Latin Karolingus, from a Frankish patronymic ultimately composed of Proto-West Germanic *karil + *-ing. By surface analysis, Carolus + -ing.

noun Karolings

alternative Alternative spelling of Caroling (“a descendant of Charles Martel; a Carolingian”) The Karolings of this last period have little to distinguish or ennoble them; they slowly drift towards extinction; it is scarcely worth our while to trace their course.
