[L. fragro. The primary sense is to send out or emit, to extend, to reach.]

To steam; to exhale; to emit vapor; applied especially to the vapor of certain moist substances, rather than to the smoke of burning bodies. I found me laid in balmy sweat, which with his beams the sun soon dry’d, and on the reeking moisture fed. Whose blood yet reeks on my avenging sword.
