BOTCH . A botch (connected with ‘beat’ and ‘boss’) is a swelling, an eruption in the skin. It occurs in reference to Deuteronomy 28:27 ‘the botch of Egypt.’ See Blain, Medicine. The modern word is ‘boil,’ which is also the more common word for the same Heb. in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . For the Eng. word see Milton PL xii. 180

‘Botches and blaines must all his flesh imboss.’
