What does EFFUSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To pour out or spread freely, whether a liquid, a light or a feeling.
Effuse is a more bookish cousin of pour. It comes from Latin roots for pouring out, and it appears in scientific and literary writing for a liquid or gas flowing away, a light spreading from its source or a person gushing with praise. Its related word effusive is much more familiar and describes someone who gushes. As an adjective, effuse also has a botanical meaning, describing a plant cluster that spreads loosely to one side.
