Definition
To purify a liquid by heating and condensing its vapors; to extract the essential meaning or core of something complex.
Etymology
From Latin distillare (to drip down), from dis- (apart) + stillare (to drop). The image is of liquid falling drop by drop during the purification process.
Kelly Says
Your brain distills complex ideas into simple understanding—the metaphorical use comes naturally because both processes separate the important from the irrelevant.
