Word origin

The word 'belch' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old English 'belcan', which means to burp or to emit gas from the stomach. This itself is connected to the Proto-Germanic word '*bulkan', which also signifies the act of belching. The evolution of the term reflects its continued use in various dialects, symbolizing a universal experience of expelling air after meals across cultures. The transition from 'belcan' to 'belch' occurred as English evolved through the centuries, influenced by Norman and other linguistic shifts. The word has been used in English literature since at least the 14th century, often in a humorous context, denoting the indiscretion or casual nature of this bodily function.
