I saw "prindle" and thought 'bout the potato chip producer "Pringles" it seems like a surname but... what does it means? and... Scrooge is now an English word and dictionaries everywhere derive it from the world-famous "a christmass-charol" but... What made Dickens choose it as a surname? Does it was a real surname or he made it up? What would be it's etymology beyond and behind the work which popularized it into it's current meaning?
