Origin

Old English sēothan 'make or keep boiling', of Germanic origin; related to Dutch zieden.

Old English sēothan meant ‘make or keep boiling’. The sense ‘be in a state of inner turmoil’ dates from the early 17th century and has parallels in words like stew, which only developed the sense of ‘fret, worry’ in the early 20th century, although stew in your own juice is found from the mid 17th.

Rhymes

bequeath, breathe, enwreathe, Meath, sheathe, teethe, wreathe
