belongings
UK: bɪˈlɒŋɪŋz | US: bɪˈlɔːŋɪŋz
n. personal possessions or items owned by someone.
The word "belongings" derives from the verb "belong," which originated in Middle English as "bilongen," meaning "to go along with" or "to pertain to." The suffix "-ings" (from Old English "-ung") transforms the verb into a noun denoting associated items. Over time, "belongings" evolved to specifically refer to personal possessions, reflecting the idea of items that "pertain to" or "are owned by" an individual.
