Etymology:
The word "engorge" comes from the Middle English word "engorgen," which is derived from the Old French word "engorgier," meaning "to swallow greedily." This word, in turn, is derived from the Latin word "gorgia," meaning "throat."
Meaning:
To engorge means to fill or swell up, typically with fluid or blood. It can also be used to describe the act of swallowing greedily.
Origin:
The use of "engorge" to refer to the swelling of body parts dates back to the 16th century. The word was originally used to describe the swelling of the throat, but it has since been extended to describe the swelling of any body part. The word's use to describe the act of swallowing greedily is somewhat more recent, dating back to the 18th century.
