Definitions

  1. a reflex that expels gas noisily from the stomach through the mouth

Word origin

Learned borrowing from Latin ērūctātiōnem, accusative of ērūctātiō (“a belching forth, burp”), from ērūctāre (“to belch, burp”). Compare Middle English eructuacioun (“belching, burp”), borrowed from the same root.

Used in a sentence
