Etymology of EXPELLINGS

The word "expellings" is a derivative form of the verb "expel". Let's explore its etymology:

The word "expel" derives from the Latin verb "expellere", which is a compound word formed by combining "ex" (meaning "out") and "pellere" (meaning "to drive"). The Latin "expellere" literally means "to drive out" or "to force out".

Over time, "expellere" was adopted into Old French as "expulser" with a similar meaning. From Old French, it made its way into Middle English, where it evolved into "expellen" with the same sense of "to drive out" or "to banish".

The noun form "expelling" is created by adding the suffix "-ing" to the verb "expelling".
