Etymology

1. c.1225, from O.Fr. boillir, from L. bullire "to bubble, seethe," from bulla "a bubble, knob." The native word is seethe. Fig. sense of "to agitate the feelings" is from 1648.
"I am impatient, and my blood boyls high." [Otway, "Alcibiades," 1675]
Boiler in the steam engine sense is from 1757; boilermaker "shot of whiskey with a glass of beer" is short for boilermaker's delight (1910), strong cheap whiskey, so called in jest from the notion that it would clean the scales from the interior of a boiler.
