Etymology
The word 'bleat' originates from Middle English 'bleten', which is derived from the Old English 'blฤatan', a word that describes the sound made by sheep. This etymology is closely linked to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as Old Norse 'blรกta', meaning 'to bleat' or 'to roar'. The sound itself has been an integral part of pastoral life, as sheep have been domesticated for thousands of years. The use of the term has evolved, but it largely pertains to the specific vocalizations of sheep and goats. As agriculture developed, so did the terminology related to farm animals, and 'bleat' has remained a distinct and specific term to describe these vocal sounds.
