喜樂美語
  1. 1腸、腸道

    The bowel is the long tube inside your body that food passes through after your stomach, where your body takes out what it needs and gets rid of the rest — doctors also call it the . People usually say 'bowels' (with an s) when talking about it in everyday or slightly formal ways, like 'bowel movement', which is a polite way to talk about going to the toilet.

From the word’s history

From Middle French bouel, from Old French boiel, from Latin botellus, diminutive of botulus 'sausage'.

經古法文 boiel 來自拉丁文 botellus「小香腸」。

Wiktionary

組成可能源自拉丁文 botellus，原意是「小香腸」，因為腸子的形狀而得名。
