Etymology

The word 'spout' comes from the Middle English 'spouten', which is derived from the Old English 'spūtan', meaning 'to spit out'. This connection to 'spitting' suggests a forceful expulsion of something. Over time, the meaning evolved from its original sense into a broader context where it describes both the physical act of expelling liquid in a stream, as well as the act of expressing thoughts or words in a vigorous manner. The transition from a physical action to a verbal one reflects the dynamic nature of language, allowing for the word to be used in various contexts, including both literal and metaphorical. Hence, 'spouted' encompasses both the act of discharging a substance and the passionate verbal expression of ideas.
