Heat \Heat\, n. [OE. hete, h[91]te, AS. h[?]tu, h[?]to, fr.       h[be]t hot; akin to OHG. heizi heat, Dan. hede, Sw. hetta.       See {Hot}.]       1. A force in nature which is recognized in various effects,             but especially in the phenomena of fusion 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 if 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.          Note: 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.          3. High temperature, as distinguished from low temperature,             or cold; as, the heat of summer and the cold of winter;             heat of the skin or body in fever, etc.                         Else how had the world . . . Avoided pinching cold                      and scorching heat!                           --Milton.          4. Indication of high temperature; appearance, condition, or             color of a body, as indicating its temperature; redness;             high color; flush; degree of temperature to which             something is heated, as indicated by appearance,             condition, or otherwise.                         It has raised . . . heats in their faces. --Addison.                         The heats smiths take of their iron are a blood-red                      heat, a white-flame heat, and a sparking or welding                      heat.                                                --Moxon.          5.
