Etymology

The word 'belted' originates from the Middle English word 'belte,' which itself comes from the Old English 'bรฆld,' having roots in the Proto-Germanic '*baldiz.' The concept of a belt as a fastening device dates back to ancient civilizations where it was used both for utility and ornamentation. Over time, the term evolved to refer not just to the physical object but also to the action of securing or fastening something with it. In modern usage, 'belted' has extended beyond physical belt usage to describe certain styles of clothing and figurative actions such as binding ideas or concepts among others. The versatility of the word demonstrates its adaptability in the English language, reflecting both physical characteristics as well as abstract notions.
