The word "bowelled" is derived from the verb "bowel", which comes from the Old French word "boeler" and the Latin word "bōlāre". In both languages, "bowel" originally meant "to remove the intestines or viscera". Over time, it acquired broader meanings associated with the internal organs, particularly the intestines. In modern English, "bowel" generally refers to the part of the digestive tract that extends from the stomach to the anus. The past participle form "bowelled" is used to describe something that has been emptied or cleared out of its contents, often in reference to the bowels or intestines.
