Etymology: The thematic root present ζέω from *ζέσ-ω (cf. ζεσ-τός, ζέσ-μα) is identical with Skt. yasati (gramm.) `seethe, boil', Germ., e. g. OHG jesan `ferment, foam'; IE -i̯ésō. In Skt. the yot present yás-ya-ti and the reduplicated yéṣati (\< ya-iṣ-); a mix of these buildings seems Av. yaēš-ya- (ptc. acc. sg. f. yaēšyantīm) `boil'. The verb is found also in Tocharian, A ysäṣ (pres. ind. 3. sg.; stem yäs-), B yayāsau (ptc. pret.) `boil'; further Alban. ziej (IE *i̯esei̯ō), Mann Lang. 28, 38; Celtic has nominal formations, e. g. Gallo-Rom. *i̯estā `foam', Welsh ias `boil, foam'. See Bq. - Another expression for `boil' which is less widely spread is ἕψω (s. v.); cf. also πέσσω.
