Số nhiều: stomachsQuá khứ: stomachedPhân từ 2: stomachedV-ing: stomaching

The physical noun refers to the anatomical organ, but in common speech, it often expands to mean the entire abdominal region. It is frequently associated with visceral reactions to emotion, such as nervousness or dread, creating a link between physical digestion and emotional processing. As a verb, the word carries a strong sense of physical revulsion. It suggests that the thing being tolerated is so distasteful or morally offensive that it feels as though it would cause a physical sickness if swallowed. This makes it more intense than simply liking or disliking something.

Countable when referring to the organ in different people (the stomachs of the patients). Uncountable when referring to the general area of the body (he has a lot of fat around the stomach).
