Etymology
The word 'choke' originates from the Middle English term 'choken', which derived from the Old English word 'ceocian', meaning 'to suffocate or choke'. This etymological lineage is linked with the Proto-Germanic root '*keukลnฤ ', which also conveys the meaning of choking or stifling. Over the centuries, the term evolved in various Germanic languages, each maintaining a similar meaning related to the act of obstructing the throat or airway. The usage of 'choke' in the context of both physical and metaphorical interpretations of suffocation has become broadly accepted, making it a versatile term in the English language.
