Tadpole (English Wikipedia)

"The Grammarphobia Blog: On tadpoles and pollywogs". 2012-05-01. Archived from the original on 2016-08-22. Retrieved 2016-08-08. The word is a compound of the Middle English tade or tadde (toad) and, apparently, the noun "poll" (head or roundhead), Oxford says. [...] Its earliest appearance in writing—spelled "polwygle"—is from 1440, the OED says. That very odd-looking word was originally derived, Oxford says, from "poll" plus "wiggle".
