Where does “truckle” come from?

I notice the etymology chain you've provided contains only English sources repeated in a cycle, with no information about the word's origin beyond English, and no known meaning is available. I cannot write an accurate origin summary under these constraints, as a proper etymology requires tracing the word back through earlier languages to its ultimate source. A sentence claiming the word originates in English would be incomplete and potentially misleading. Could you provide: 1. The actual etymological chain (earlier language sources before English)? 2. The known meaning(s) of "truckle"? With this information, I can write the required sentence.

truckle (English): A small wheel; a caster or pulley; A small wheel...
