Etymology

The word 'bulge' comes from the Middle English word 'bulgen', which means to swell or swell out. It can be traced back to the Old French term 'bulgir', which has similar meanings. The origin can further be connected to Latin 'bulga', meaning a leather bag or pouch. Over time, the term evolved to describe anything that has swelled, protruded, or expanded beyond its normal shape, becoming a versatile term in both physical and emotional contexts. In modern English, 'bulged' is commonly used to illustrate both literal shapes, such as a bulged tire, and figurative expressions, like bulging veins during physical exertion.
