Definition of belch

belchverb

/beltʃ//beltʃ/

The origin of the word "belch" can be traced back to the Old English word "bælcian," which meant "to swallow" or "gulp down." It is believed that the modern use of "belch" as a word for releasing gas from the stomach through the mouth originated from the Old French word "boldre," which meant "burp" or "sudden gasp for breath." In Middle English, this word was spelled "boldren" and "bolen," which eventually developed into the current form of "belch" in Early Modern English. The exact reasons for the changes in pronunciation and spelling are not entirely clear, but linguists suggest that these linguistic shifts may have been due to changes in the way the sounds were produced and explained by historical changes in the English language over time.
