Definition of searing

searingadjective

làm đau

/ˈsɪərɪŋ//ˈsɪrɪŋ/

The word "searing" comes from the Old English word "sear," which originally meant "to dry up" or "to wither." This stemmed from the verb "searian," meaning "to dry up" or "to parch." Over time, the meaning shifted to describe the intense heat that causes something to dry up, eventually evolving into the current sense of burning or scorching. This evolution was likely influenced by the association of intense heat with the drying and withering effect it has on things.
