and evaporation, and which, as manifested in fire, the sun's rays, mechanical action, chemical combination,
etc., becomes directly known to us through the sense of feeling. In its nature heat is a mode of motion,
being in general a form of molecular disturbance or vibration. It was formerly supposed to be a subtile,
imponderable fluid, to which was given the name caloric.
As affecting the human body, heat produces different sensations, which are called by different names,
as heat or sensible heat, warmth, cold, etc., according to its degree or amount relatively to the normal
temperature of the body.
2. The sensation caused by the force or influence of heat when excessive, or above that which is normal
to the human body; the bodily feeling experienced on exposure to fire, the sun's rays, etc.; the reverse of
cold.

cold of winter; heat of the skin or body in fever, etc.

Avoided pinching cold and scorching heat!
