What two words did squiggle come from?

The word "squiggle" doesn't come from two specific words. It's actually an example of onomatopoeia, a word that imitates the sound it represents.

The word "squiggle" itself is thought to have originated from the sound made by something wriggling or twisting, like a worm or a line drawn with a pen.
