Etymology
The word 'stooled' is derived from the Old English word 'stol,' which means a seat or a stool. Historically, this term was associated with the act of sitting down, which is relevant to the act of defecation as it often occurs while seated. The evolution of the term began to encompass not just the physical reference to a seat or a stool but also the function performed when in that position. In modern medical terminology, 'stool' refers specifically to feces, and the verb 'to stool' signifies the act of excreting feces. This transition in meaning reflects a broader medical understanding of digestion and excretion processes over centuries. The usage of 'stooled' in medical documentation has become more common as healthcare providers focus on gastrointestinal health.
