scald
scald: [13] Scald comes ultimately from Latin calidus ‘hot’ (source also of English cauldron and chowder and related to calorie and nonchalant). From it was derived the verb excaldāre ‘wash in hot water’, which passed into English via Anglo-Norman escalder as scald.

Related: Scalded; scalding. The noun is c. 1600, from the verb.
