Where does the word "seething" come from?

"Seething" as an adjective meaning "being in a state of inward agitation" comes from Old English verb seoþan, "to boil," appearing in the 1580s. The OED lists 8 different meanings for the word - 5 nouns, 2 adjectives, and 1 quasi-adverb. The noun form acquires the meaning "the state of being boiling hot" in 1300, "the action of boiling liquid" in 1387, and "digestion" in 1398, the last meaning of which becomes obsolete by 1628. The quasi-adverb appears in 1489, as in the phrase "seething hot." The earliest written use of the noun is in the writing that the OED specifies as "St. Margarete"; this is probably the same as the "Seinte Margarete" manuscript from the Katherine Group, appearing around 1300; of the adjective, from before 1300, in the writing known as Legends of the Rood.
