means To feel a slight, prickling, electric sensation in the skin or body, often from cold, excitement, or returning circulation.

from Tingle began in the late 14th century as a variant of 'tinkle' — the same word that describes a small bell's ring. The connection is sound: a ringing in the ears was once said to 'tingle,' and the word slid from that buzzing in the head to the buzzing in the skin. Both 'tingle' and 'tinkle' are likely imitative, echoing the high thin noise they name.
