Picture the metal box in the kitchen with a door on the front: you shut the heat inside with the food, and it cooks from all sides. That sealed-in heat is what the word carries, which is why it also turns up when a room is hot.
可以想成：廚房裡那個前面有門的金屬箱子——把食物和熱一起關在裡面，四面一起加熱。這個字帶著的就是那股「被關起來的熱」，所以當一個房間熱得受不了時，英文也會拿它來比喻。
