\Boil"ing\, a. Heated to the point of bubbling; heaving with bubbles; in tumultuous agitation, as boiling liquid; surging; seething; swelling with heat, ardor, or passion. {Boiling point}, the temperature at which a fluid is converted into vapor, with the phenomena of ebullition.

For water, at the level of the sea, barometer 30 in., it is 212 [deg] Fahrenheit; for alcohol, 172.96[deg]; for ether, 94.8[deg]; for mercury, about 675[deg]. The boiling point of water is lowered one degree Fahrenheit for about 550 feet of ascent above the level of the sea. {Boiling spring}, a spring which gives out very hot water, or water and steam, often ejecting it with much force; a geyser. {To be at the boiling point}, to be very angry. {To keep the pot boiling}, to keep going on actively, as in certain games. [Colloq.]
\Boil"ing\, n. 1. The act of ebullition or of tumultuous agitation. 2. Exposure to the action of a hot liquid.
