bloating
膨満感
解説 Definition
胃や腸が異常に膨らむ状態。ガスや液体がたまることで起こる腹部の膨満感。
Bloating is a feeling of fullness or swelling in the stomach area, often caused by gas or digestive problems. People commonly use this word when talking about health, food, or discomfort after eating. It usually describes a symptom, not a disease itself.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
bloat を単体で覚えるより、bloated stomach（張ったお腹）, abdominal bloating（腹部膨満）, bloating after meals（食後の張り）をまとめて押さえると定着しやすいです。-ing なので「膨れていること・その状態」。swelling は腫れ一般、fullness は単なる満腹感にも使えますが、bloating はガスや消化不良でお腹が張る感じにかなり寄ります。bloated と対で覚えると、名詞と形容詞の切り替えもしやすくなります。
Start with the verb `bloat`, then add `-ing` for the state or feeling. It often appears in phrases like `abdominal bloating` or `bloating after meals`, so connect it with a stomach that feels stretched. Pair it with `bloated` to remember both the noun idea and the adjective.

bloating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
bloating は bloat「ふくれ上がる」+ -ing で、語源は古ノルド語 blautr「柔らかい・湿った」に連なるゲルマン系とされます。bloated や bloatware も同根で、「水気を含んでだぶつく」感覚が、腹部の膨満や無駄に肥大した状態へつながりました。
Bloating is built from the verb bloat and the ending -ing. Bloat is thought to come from Germanic roots linked to Old Norse blautr, meaning soft or wet. The idea seems to have moved from being swollen or puffed up with moisture to the modern sense of an uncomfortable swollen condition; related words include bloated and bloatware.
