What does LEACH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To drain away, or cause a substance to drain away, from soil, ash, or other material through the slow percolation of water or another liquid.
Rain can leach nutrients out of topsoil over years, carrying dissolved minerals downward until the upper layer becomes poorer and less fertile, which is one reason farmers rotate crops or add fertilizer to replace what leaches away. Chemists and metallurgists also use leach for a deliberate process, passing a solvent through crushed ore to leach out valuable metals such as gold or copper. In everyday speech the word extends to any slow, gradual loss, as when color leaches out of fabric left in the sun.
How LEACH is used
Common in agriculture, chemistry, and mining for the gradual removal of a substance by a percolating liquid.
