Etymology

edit

From Latin ēlixātus, past participle of ēlixāre (to seethe), from ēlixus (thoroughly boiled), from ex + *lixus (fluid, flowing), probably from Proto-Indo-European *wleykʷ- (moist, to wet) and thus cognate with Latin lixa (water; lye) and liqueō (to be liquid, fluid).

Verb

edit

elixate (third-person singular simple present elixates, present participle elixating, simple past and past participle elixated)

  1. (obsolete) To boil; to seethe.
  2. (obsolete, by extension) To extract by boiling or seething.
    • 1657, Jean de Renou, A Medicinal Dispensatory:
      Polypody must be contunded and elixated; whereunto , when moderately cocted , Prunes , Raisins , Wormwood , Epithymum , Binde - weed , Roses , and Liquorice must be added
