Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian wamme , womme belly, Old Dutch wamba belly, uterus (Middle Dutch wambe , wamme belly (especially of an animal), Dutch wam ), Old Saxon wamba belly (Middle Low German wamme belly), Old High German wamba , wamme belly, uterus (Middle High German wambe , wampe , wamme belly, paunch, uterus, German Wamme paunch, belly (now usually of animals), Wampe paunch, belly), Old Icelandic vǫmb (especially of animals) belly, uterus, Old Swedish vamb belly (Swedish våmm , †våmb ), Old Danish vom (Danish vom ), Gothic wamba womb, belly; further etymology unknown. For likely borrowing of this Germanic base into Romance, see also gambeson n.In Old English a strong feminine (ō -stem). Old English β. forms show rounding of Germanic short ă before a nasal; some Middle English (west midland) forms may show the reflex of this rounded vowel. Most Middle English β. forms, however, show the reflex of lengthening of short ă (in Old English α. forms) before the homorganic consonant cluster mb . The expected development of the resulting long ā in Middle English south of the Humber is to long open ō (for corresponding northern forms, which do not show this development, see wame n.); however, it appears to have been raised further (to long close ō ) between w and the following labial consonant m (compare woombe at β. forms), and most early modern English orthoepists already show the reflex of long close ō for the word (as is reflected by the pronunciation in modern standard English), although the reflexes of long open ō and of shortened o and u are also occasionally attested (see R. Jordan Handb. der mittelenglischen Grammatik (ed. 2, 1934) §45 note, E. J. Dobson Eng. Pronunc. 1500–1700 (ed. 2, 1968) II §§ 13(3), 15, 153). The final consonant b had apparently been regularly assimilated to preceding m and the resultant geminate simplified to m already in Middle English (compare wom, wome at β. forms); where pronunciation of final b appears to be occasionally recorded later, it is probably under the influence of the spelling. In sense 1c with allusion to the chambers of the heart probably after classical Latin ventriculus ventriculus n. In sense 2b after extended use of classical Latin venter belly (see venter n.1) in the Vulgate, ultimately rendering extended uses of biblical Hebrew beṭen , lit. ‘belly, abdomen, uterus’ (e.g. in Habakkuk 3:16 (the passage cited in its Vulgate version in quot. eOE) and Psalm 31:10) and meʿē (plural noun, only attested in the construct state), lit. ‘internal organs, bowels, belly’ (e.g. in Ecclesiasticus 51:29 (the passage translated in quot. a1382) and Lamentations 1:20), both denoting the seat of the passions and affections.
