Meaning Of Hiccough
n.
A modified respiratory movement; a spasmodic inspiration,
consisting of a sudden contraction of the diaphragm, accompanied with
closure of the glottis, so that further entrance of air is prevented,
while the impulse of the column of air entering and striking upon the
closed glottis produces a sound, or hiccough.
