Etymology
The term 'welling' is derived from the Old English word 'wellan', which means to spring up or rise. Historically, it was associated with the physical act of water rising or bubbling up, much like the emotions that surge in a person's heart. The usage of 'welling' in reference to emotions has been prevalent since the 14th century and has evolved to express the idea of feelings overflowing from within an individual. This linguistic transformation reflects the ways in which language adapts to encompass the complexities of human emotional experiences.
