The word 'gulping' originates from the Middle English word 'golpen', which means 'to swallow eagerly or greedily'. Over time, the term evolved to include the action of swallowing quickly or in large amounts. The concept of 'gulping' has been associated with the idea of consuming something rapidly, often indicating hunger or thirst. The onomatopoeic nature of the word reflects the sound made while swallowing hastily.
