DISTILLED Meaning and Definition

1. Distilled is an adjective that refers to a substance, especially a liquid, that has undergone a process of distillation. Distillation is a method in chemistry where a mixture is heated, and the vapor formed is then condensed and collected, resulting in the separation of its components based on their differing boiling points.

   In the context of liquids, particularly alcoholic ones, distilled implies that the liquid has been purified or concentrated through the distillation process. For example, distilled water is water that has undergone distillation, resulting in the removal of impurities and other minerals, making it suitable for various applications like laboratory experiments, medical procedures, or even for everyday consumption.

   When it comes to alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey, vodka, or gin, distilled indicates that the alcohol has been produced through the process of distillation, which removes impurities and enhances the drink's purity and flavor. This is often done to achieve a higher alcohol content compared to fermented liquors.

   Overall, distilled suggests a purified or concentrated state achieved through the process of distillation, commonly used in industries such as chemistry, beverages, and even essential oil extraction.

2. Extracted by heat or by dropping.

Etymology of DISTILLED

The word "distilled" comes from the Latin verb "distillare", which means "to drop or trickle down". This Latin word is derived from the combination of two elements: "dis", which means "apart" or "asunder", and "stillare", which means "to drip or droplet". The concept of distillation involves separating or purifying a liquid through the process of vaporization and condensation, which resembles the gradual dripping or trickling of liquid. Over time, the term "distillare" evolved into the Middle English term "distillen", which eventually led to the word "distilled" in modern English.
