flatulency

/flˈætʃələnsi/ noun

flatulence

Word Origin From Latin 'flare' (to blow) and the suffix '-ulentus' (full of) — so flatulency is literally 'full of blowing'. The root 'flare' also gives us 'inflate' (blow into), 'deflate' (blow out), and 'conflate' (blow together). The word 'flat' itself is a cousin, originally meaning 'blown' or 'spread out'.
