Origin:
The Latin word "gurgitem" referred to a whirlpool or abyss, specifically a swirling mass of water. It was also used figuratively to describe a state of confusion or chaos. In Late Latin, "gurgitonus" was used to describe a gurgling or bubbling sound made by water. This term evolved into "gurgiter" in Middle English and eventually became "gurgitation" in Modern English.
The medical sense of the term "gurgitation" likely originated from the observation that the sound made by the regurgitation of stomach contents or fluids resembles the gurgling sound made by water in a whirlpool.
