RESWALLOW Meaning and Definition

  1. Reswallow: (verb) To consume or ingest again; to swallow repeatedly or more than once.

    Reswallow refers to the act of taking in food or liquid, often involving the repeating action of swallowing. The term can be used to describe the process of consuming something that has previously been swallowed, such as in cases where food or drink has not been completely swallowed and must be re-swallowed. This could occur due to a misjudgment in the initial swallowing process, a sensation of choking or discomfort, or to prevent regurgitation.

    In a broader sense, reswallow can also encompass the concept of consuming something that was already ingested but then brought back up or expelled from the body. This could apply to situations like vomiting, in which the individual may choose or be forced to reswallow the expelled contents.

    Furthermore, reswallow can be applied metaphorically to describe the repetition or re-experiencing of a previous issue, challenge, or feeling. For instance, in the context of emotions or memories, it can convey the process of revisiting and reprocessing certain sensations or thoughts that may have been swallowed or pushed away earlier.

    Overall, whether relating to the physical act of consuming again or the metaphorical sense of repeating or re-experiencing, reswallow refers to the act of swallowing multiple times, often involving the ingestion of substances or emotions that were already taken in or dealt with before.

Etymology of RESWALLOW

The word "reswallow" appears to be a combination of two different words: "re-" and "swallow".

The prefix "re-" is derived from Latin and means "again" or "back". It is used to indicate repetition, restoration, or return to a previous state.

The word "swallow" is derived from Old English "swelgan", which means "to swallow". This word has its roots in the Proto-Germanic language and is related to similar words in other Germanic languages.

When these two parts are combined, "reswallow" suggests the act of swallowing something again or repeatedly. However, it is important to note that the term "reswallow" does not have a widespread usage or a well-established etymology. It may be regarded as a combination or neologism derived from the two aforementioned terms.
