Definition
Heats a liquid until bubbles rapidly form and rise, or can mean an infected swelling on the skin filled with pus.
Etymology
From Old French 'bouillir,' from Latin 'bullire' (to bubble). The noun (skin infection) comes from Old English 'bōl' meaning a swelling.
Kelly Says
In medieval times, boils were treated by applying bread and milk, or sometimes by leeches—and since boils are often caused by staph bacteria, these treatments sometimes worked by accident because bread cultures can inhibit bacteria.
