| 词汇 | boil |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1. boil (v.) early 13c., from O.Fr. bolir "boil, bubble up, ferment, gush" (12c., Mod.Fr. bouillir), from L. bullire "to bubble, seethe," from bulla "a bubble, knob" (see bull (2)). The native word is seethe. Figurative sense of "to agitate the feelings" is from 1640s."I am impatient, and my blood boyls high." [Thomas Otway, "Alcibiades," 1675] Boiling point is recorded from 1773. 2. boil (n.) "hard tumor," altered from M.E. bile (Kentish bele), perhaps by association with the verb; from O.E. byl, byle "boil, carbuncle," from W.Gmc. *buljon- "swelling" (cf. O.Fris. bele, O.H.G. bulia, Ger. Beule). Perhaps ultimately from PIE base *bhel- (2) "to swell" (see bole), or from *bheu- "to grow, swell" (see boast). Cf. O.Ir. bolach "pustule," Goth. ufbauljan "to puff up," Icel. beyla "hump." 词根记忆： v. (使)沸腾,煮(沸)That makes George's blood boil.那事使乔治热血沸腾. |
