Decoction:  To extract by boiling.  In brewing parlance, the mashing process whereby a portion of the mash is removed, boiled, and then returned to the main mash in order to raise the temperature.  Decoction is primarily thought of as a German method designed to work with undermodified malts for consistent temperature control before the invention of the thermometer.  (Taken from "The Brewmaster's Bible" by Stephen Snyder)
