belting
Belting pertains to several different concepts depending on the context: 1. In singing, belting refers to a specific technique of singing by which a person sings higher pitches using their chest voice rather than shifting to their head voice or falsetto. This results in a powerful, resonant sound. 2. In machinery or automotive industry, belting refers to the use of a belt to transfer power between different components. For example, a timing belt in an engine. 3. In fashion, belting refers to the act of securing or decorating clothes with a belt. 4. In terms of punishment, belting refers to hitting someone with a belt as a form of corporal punishment. 5. A conveyor belt system used for handling materials in industries is also often simply referred to as belting. Thus, the general definition changes based on the specific usage and context.

Belting
Belting is the use of belts made of strong materials as a whip-like instrument for corporal punishment. It is most often associated with educational institutions where it has been used as disciplinary measure but it has also been applied domestically by parents. This practice has now been abolished by most schools, at least in the Western world, as it is seen by many as abusive and excessive punishment, though many parents, especially fathers, still belt their children. The punisher might use his own belt or the one worn by the person to be punished, indeed in the mid-19th century many boys were made to wear a belt by their parents, in part to be used as a punishment device and as a permanent reminder; in other cases, especially in an institutional context, a separate belt is kept solely for disciplinary use, and possibly displayed, again as a warning. The difference with a strapping, although in practice both terms are also used unprecisely as synonyms, is that a strap is harder, made from heavier and/or thicker leather, and may be specially made for discipline and have a handle, unlike a 'real' belt.
