Definition
Past tense of belong; meant to be a member of something, or fit naturally in a place or group.
Etymology
From Old English 'belang,' from 'be-' (thoroughly) and 'long' (to pertain to). The meaning evolved from 'to be long to' (serve, belong to) into the modern sense of membership and fitting in.
Kelly Says
The word 'belong' is psychologically powerful because it taps into a deep human need—decades of research show that feeling like you 'belong' is one of the strongest predictors of happiness and mental health, making this quiet word surprisingly important to human wellbeing.
