Bullition

/bʊˈlɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act of boiling; a bubbling or seething motion, often used poetically or in archaic scientific texts.

Etymology

From Latin bullire (to boil, bubble), related to 'ebullition.' The term combines the Latin root with the English suffix '-tion,' though it's rare in modern usage.

Kelly Says

Scientists in the 1600s loved this word—'bullition' captured the exact moment when water transforms from liquid calm to chaotic bubbling, and alchemists believed this transformation was key to creating new substances!
