Etymology of SPAT OUT
The word "spat out" is derived from the verb "spit". "Spit" has Old English origins and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "spytan" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*sp(h)eu-", meaning "to spit". Over time, the past tense form of "spit" changed to "spat" in Middle English, and the phrase "spat out" evolved to refer to forcefully or vigorously expelling something from one's mouth.
