Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: A Common Germanic strong verb (wanting in Gothic): Old English séoðan (past tense séað, plural sudon, past participle soden) corresponds to Old Frisian siatha (West Frisian siede), Old Saxon *sioðan (in past participle gesodenemo ‘recocto’), Middle Low German sêden (Low German seden), Dutch zieden, Old High German siodan (Middle High German, modern German sieden), Old Norse sióða (Swedish sjuda, Danish syde). The root, Germanic *seuþ- (: *sauþ-: *suđ-) occurs in Gothic sauþ-s sacrifice (? originally ‘boiled flesh’), with which Old Norse sauð-r sheep is probably identical. From the weak grade *suđ- appears to have been developed the parallel root *sweþ- (: *swaþ-: *suđ-) in Old High German swedan to smoulder, Middle High German swaden smoky vapour (modern German schwadem fire-damp), ? Old English swaþul smoky vapour. Brugmann refers the root to an Indogermanic type *kþeut-, found in Lithuanian szuntū (preterite szuntau) ‘I smoulder, stew’. The original past tense (Middle English seeth) was superseded by the form sod taken from the past participle The verb is now conjugated weak, sod being obsolete, and sodden having ceased to be associated with this verb.

a. transitive. To boil; to make or keep boiling hot; to subject to the action of boiling liquid; esp. to cook (food) by boiling or stewing; also, to make an infusion or decoction of (a substance) by boiling or stewing. Obsolete or archaic.Old English had certain figurative uses not found later: To try as by fire; to afflict with cares.
