'stomach' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'stomachus,' where 'stomachus' meant 'throat' or 'gullet.'

'stomachus' transformed into the Old French word 'estomac,' and eventually became the modern English word 'stomach' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'throat or gullet,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the organ in the body where food is digested.'
