Etymology
The word 'seethed' originates from the Old English term 'sฤthan', which meant to boil or to be agitated. This term has Proto-Germanic roots, reflected in similar words across other Germanic languages that denote the action of bubbling or boiling. Historically, 'seethe' described not just the physical boiling of liquids but also served as a metaphor for emotional upheaval. The evolution of the term has allowed it to convey both literal and figurative meanings, making it a versatile addition to the English lexicon. Over time, 'seethe' came to be used more frequently in contexts involving suppressed emotions, particularly anger and frustration, illustrating the interplay between physical and emotional states.
