The word "heartburned" is derived from two separate words: "heart" and "burn".
The term "heart" itself originates from the Old English word "heorte" and is related to similar words in other Germanic languages. Its etymology can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "hertô" or "hertaz", meaning "heart" or "courage". This word is also connected to the Proto-Indo-European root "kerd", meaning "heart".
The term "burn" comes from the Old English word "byrnan" which means "to be set on fire" or "to be consumed by fire". It has its roots in the Proto-Germanic word "brannjan", which shares a common ancestor with other Germanic and Norse words related to fire and burning.
