Etymology
Megilp comes from old painting practice and a helpful way to remember it is to think of gel, because artists mix linseed oil with varnish or turpentine to make a smooth, 'jelly-like' medium. That's why megilp means a soft, spreadable painting medium that makes oil paint easier to work with.
