['neıvəl]

navel at English => English (English Etymology) Of Explained:

O.E. nafela, from P.Gmc. *nabalan (cf. O.N. nafli), from PIE *(o)nobh- "navel" (cf. Gk. omphalos; O.Ir. imbliu; O.Prus. nabis; Skt. nabhi-; Avestan nafa-; and L. umbilicus, source of Sp. ombligo, O.Fr. lombril, Fr. nombril). "Navel" words from other roots include Lith. bamba, Skt. bimba- (also "disk, sphere"), Gk. bembix, lit. "whirlpool." O.C.S. papuku, Lith. pumpuras are originally "bud." Considered a feminine sexual center since ancient times, and still in parts of the Middle East, India, and Japan. Even in medieval Europe, it was averred that "[t]he seat of wantonness in women is the navel." [Cambridge bestiary, C.U.L. ii.4.26] Words for it in most languages have a secondary sense of "center." ///
