steaming
Hot and misty
Steaming describes something giving off steam—hot vapor rising from boiling water, a fresh cup of coffee, or a shower.
The word suggests heat and moisture together.
Figuratively, steaming means furious: She was steaming after he forgot their anniversary.
In British slang, steaming drunk means very intoxicated.
As a noun, steaming refers to a cooking method using steam rather than direct heat or liquid.
