Belting is derived from "belt" (from Old English "belt", meaning a strip of leather or cloth worn around the waist) and the suffix "-ing" (indicating the action or process of). The word "belting" refers to the action of putting on or using a belt, or can also describe a loud, powerful singing style, as in "belting out a song."
