Eructating

/ɪˈrʌkteɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Currently or in the process of belching or burping.

Etymology

Present participle form of eructate, following standard English -ing construction added to Latin-derived verb stems.

Kelly Says

The -ing form transforms Latin verbs into ongoing actions, which is why 'eructating' sounds so much more scientific than simply saying 'burping.'
