Gell

Gell, a verb primarily used in Scottish dialect and sometimes in archaic English, signifies to curdle, coagulate, or become thick and semisolid, similar to the process of jelly formation. It often describes a thickening or congealing of a liquid or a substance. The term also subtly implies a change in consistency, moving from a more fluid to a more viscous or solid state. It is related to the process of setting, as observed with certain foods, adhesives, or materials during their preparation or aging, such as how gravy thickens. It can also be used metaphorically to imply a lack of progress.
