Etymology
1. c.1386, "act of expelling contents of the stomach through the mouth," from L.
vomitare "to vomit often," frequentative of
vomere "spew forth, discharge," from PIE base
*wem- "to spit, vomit" (cf. Gk.
emein "to vomit,"
emetikos "provoking sickness;" Skt.
vamati "he vomits;" Avestan
vam- "to spit;" Lith.
vemiu "to vomit," O.N.
væma "seasickness"). In ref. to the matter so ejected, it is attested from c.1390. The verb is recorded from 1422.
2. From Middle English vomiten, from Latin vomitāre (“vomit repeatedly”), frequentative form of vomō (“be sick, vomit”), from Proto-Indo-European *wemh₁- (“to spew, vomit”). Cognate with Old Norse váma (“nausea, malaise”), Old English wemman (“to defile”). More at wem. See: Latin '
vomitō', Old English '
wemman'.
