† ˈfervefy, v. Obs. rare.

[ad. L. fervefacĕre, f. fervēre to boil: see -fy.]

trans. To make boiling hot. Hence ˈfervefied ppl. a.

Oxford English Dictionary

 

As noted, the word is obsolete and rare. I can't imagine how she managed to find it or, more accurately, find part of it. I'll try to find out, though I probably can't until September - summer vacation is about to start.
