This reminded me of the ring around the rosie song, which prompted me to validate the myth that it’s about the plague before I said some nonsense, which has taught me that I’ve been bamboozled.
Apparently it’s a just unsubstantiated and very unlikely given the change of language such as the word fall meaning courtesy and the lack of written discussion about this as an origin before the 19th century.
This states folklore scholars find it baseless which is good enough for me.
