Best Answer

Aestus is a word that means basically "undulation; boiling" and is applied in Latin to various things that are perceived to move in this manner:

  • heat or fire
  • the swell of the sea
  • the tides
  • figuratively, passion or uncertainty of mind

The Epicurean poet/philosopher Lucretius used aestus to refer to the flux of atoms that he believed was the cause of sense perception.

The similarly-spelled word aestas means "Summer".
