Word origin
The word 'gushed' originates from the Middle English term 'gusshen,' which means to pour forth copiously. This term itself comes from the Old French 'gousser,' derived from a late Latin word 'guttiare,' meaning to drop. Its initial use was related to the physical flowing of liquids but evolved to encompass emotional expression by the late 19th century. The transformation of the term illustrates how language evolves to capture both tangible and emotional states. By the 20th century, 'gush' had become popular in informal contexts, especially concerning expressing excitement or admiration.
