bubbled
- 1Simple past and past participle of bubble.
The thick stew bubbled gently on the stove for the better part of an hour.
Laughter had bubbled up among the children long before the puppets appeared.
Note
Its participle leans on have rather than be, because the verb behind it is usually intransitive: the stew had bubbled, laughter has bubbled up. A passive reading (was bubbled) fits only the rare transitive uses: the archaic sense of being duped or cheated, or the obsolete one of being covered with bubbles. In Scotland and Northern England, she bubbled can also mean she wept, not that something fizzed.
