Etymology

From Middle English bolken, balken (“to vomit, overflow”), from Old English bealcian (“to belch, utter, bring up, sputter out, pour out, give forth, emit, come forth”), from Proto-Germanic *balkōną, *belkaną (“to belch”), ultimately imitative. Cognate with Dutch balken, bulken (“to bellow”), German bölken (“to roar”). See also belch.
