Origin of the word bleed

The word "bleed" has its roots in Old English and Middle English. The verb "blēdan" or "bledian" originally meant "to flow or ooze" and was commonly used to describe blood or other fluids. This sense of the word was influenced by the Old English word "blōd," meaning "blood." In the 14th century, the verb "bleed" took on a new meaning, "to flow or trickle" in general, not just blood. For example, "the fountain bled water" or "the tree bled sap." This usage is thought to have been influenced by the Latin word "fundere," meaning "to flow" or "to pour." Today, the word "bleed" can describe the flow of various substances, including blood, ink, or paint, and is also used figuratively to describe a loss or depletion, such as "the company is bleeding money."
