DISGORGE Meaning and Definition

  1. Disgorge is a verb that refers to the action of forcefully expelling or ejecting something, often from a confined space or in a rapid and uncontrollable manner. It can also mean to regurgitate or vomit, particularly when referring to animals.

    In a literal sense, disgorge commonly describes the act of emptying the contents of the stomach or digestive tract through the mouth. For instance, a person may vomit and disgorge the food they have eaten due to illness or excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, certain predatory species, such as birds, snakes, or predators that consume prey whole, may disgorge or regurgitate indigestible parts, like bones, feathers, or fur.

    On a more figurative level, disgorge can depict the forceful release or expulsion of objects or substances from an enclosed or congested space. This can manifest in various contexts, such as a river disgorging water after heavy rainfall, a volcano discharging lava and gases during an eruption, or a container disgorging its contents when forcefully opened.

    In broader senses, disgorge can also be used metaphorically to convey the act of releasing or surrendering something in a vehement or overwhelming manner. For example, a person may disgorge their emotions, thoughts, or secrets, meaning they express them freely and intensely. Similarly, an author might disgorge their creative ideas onto paper, indicating a rapid and uninhibited outpouring of thoughts or inspiration.

  2. To eject from the stomach, &c.; to vomit; to yield up unwillingly what has been improperly or unjustly taken possession of.

Etymology of DISGORGE

The word "disgorge" has its etymological roots in Old French. It comes from the Old French word "desgorger", which is a combination of "des-" (meaning "out") and "gorge" (meaning "throat"). Thus, "disgorge" originally referred to the act of forcing something out of the throat or mouth. Over time, the term evolved to encompass broader meanings, such as "to vomit" or "to expel violently". In its current usage, "disgorge" typically refers to the rapid and forceful release of something in large quantities.
