Origin of the word bloated

The word "bloated" originates from the Old English word "blōtan," meaning "to offer sacrifice," which ultimately derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*blōtan." The original meaning evolved over time, likely through the concept of sacrificing animals and the resulting appearance of the carcass. This association with swelling and overfullness led to the modern meaning of "bloated" – referring to something swollen or inflated, often due to excessive fluids or gas.
