1. Swollen, Swolnthe participle passive of swell.

   Unto his aid she hastily did draw
   Her dreadful beast, who, swoln with blood of late,
   Came ramping forth with proud presumptuous gait. F. Qu.

   When thus the gather’d storms of wretched love
   In my swoln bosom with long war had strove,
   At length they broke their bounds: at length their force
   Bore down whatever met its stronger course;
   Laid all the civil bonds of manhood waste,
   And scatter’d ruin as the torrent past. Matthew Prior.

   Whereas at first we had only three of these principles, their number is already swoln to five. Thomas Baker, on Learning.

1. swollen

   Edema, also spelled oedema, and also known as fluid retention, dropsy, hydropsy and swelling, is the build-up of fluid in the body's tissue. Most commonly, the legs or arms are affected. Symptoms may include skin which feels tight, the area may feel heavy, and joint stiffness. Other symptoms depend on the underlying cause.Causes may include venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney problems, low protein levels, liver problems, deep vein thrombosis, infections, angioedema, certain medications, and lymphedema. It may also occur after prolonged sitting or standing and during menstruation or pregnancy. The condition is more concerning if it starts suddenly, or pain or shortness of breath is present.Treatment depends on the underlying cause. If the underlying mechanism involves sodium retention, decreased salt intake and a diuretic may be used. Elevating the legs and support stockings may be useful for edema of the legs. Older people are more commonly affected. The word is from the Greek οἴδημα oídēma meaning 'swelling'.
