/ˈblædə(r)//ˈblædər/

The word "bladder" has a fascinating history. It originates from the Old English word "blæðer," which referred to a bag or pouch. This Old English term is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*blæþiz," which is also the source of the Modern German word "Blase" meaning "bladder" or "balloon." In Middle English (circa 1100-1500), the word "bladder" took on a new meaning, specifically referring to the organ that stores urine in the human body. The term was likely influenced by the shape and function of the bladder, which is a flexible and Expandable sac. Over time, the word "bladder" has been adopted into various languages, including Latin ("vesica"), Greek (" BLAS"), and many others. Today, the word "bladder" is widely recognized and used in medical contexts to refer to the urinary organ that plays a crucial role in our bodily functions.
