Definition of sizzling

sizzlingadjective

nóng bỏng

/ˈsɪzlɪŋ//ˈsɪzlɪŋ/

"Sizzling" originated from the Old English word "sislian," which referred to a hissing sound, similar to the sound of frying food. Over time, "sislian" evolved into "sizzle," and the "-ing" suffix was added to create the verb "sizzling," which specifically describes the sound and action of something frying or burning, producing a hot, sharp hissing sound. This connection between sound and the visual image of hot, frying food makes "sizzling" an evocative and descriptive word.
