Etymology

The word 'squirt' originated in the late 16th century, from the Middle Dutch term 'squirten', which means 'to squirt'. Its evolution is closely associated with the gestures of spraying or ejecting liquid in a quick and playful manner. The word likely gained popularity in the 18th century, particularly in informal contexts, as playful games involving water became common among children. Over the years, 'squirt' has found its way into various domains, from kitchen use to playground games, and it continues to evoke images of spontaneity and fun. The verb form 'squirted' emerged as a natural extension to describe the past tense of this lively action.
