In technical or chemical contexts, the word describes a specific exothermic reaction where water is added to quicklime. This physical process of softening and hydrating the mineral mirrors the metaphorical sense of calming a raging fire or a volatile emotion, linking the chemical stabilization of a substance to the psychological stabilization of a person.
