Etymology

The word 'bowel' originates from the Old English term 'bลซgels,' which referred to the intestines or entrails of an animal. This word has connections to various languages, displaying a shared root in the concept of the internal parts of the body related to digestion. As the English language evolved, so did the term, adapting through the Middle English 'boul' or 'bowe,' which selectively referred to the intestines. Over time, the meaning of 'bowel' has settled predominantly on the internal organs responsible for digestion, specifically the intestines. The anatomical understanding of bowels has been critical in medical practice, showcasing the term's ongoing relevance in health and anatomy discussions.
