Origin of the word boil over

The term "boil over" is commonly used to describe the phenomenon when a liquid, usually in a container, reaches its boiling point and spills over the edge due to the creation of foam or bubbles that overflow the vessel. The origin of the word "boil over" can be traced back to the 17th century when the term "boileth" was used to describe the bubbling or frothing over of a liquid in a pot or pan. Over time, the word "boileth" evolved into "boil over," which is the term widely used today to refer to this common occurrence in various practical and scientific applications.
