Definition
The act or process of heating or warming something; the state of being heated.
Etymology
From Latin calefactio, from calefacere (to make hot). This formal term was common in medieval and Renaissance medical and scientific discourse.
Kelly Says
In medieval medicine, physicians classified treatments by their 'degree of calefaction'—a pepper would have more calefaction than lettuce—creating a whole system of heating therapy based on humoral theory!
