         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to boil in the spirit) to show great eagerness toward something

         Glosses: ['to show enthusiasm', 'to commit oneself completely to']

         Comments: In some languages it may be difficult to find an appropriate equivalent of the phrase ‘with great enthusiasm,’ but in some instances an equivalent expression may be ‘he showed how much he liked to do’ or ‘he showed how he did so with all his heart.’
