transported or moved by the flow of a fluid (like wind or water current) in a previous action.
From 'advect,' derived from Latin 'advectus' (carried toward), from 'ad-' (to) and 'vehere' (to carry). The suffix '-ed' marks it as past tense.
Meteorologists track how pollution is 'advected' by wind patterns across continents—the same mechanism that carries warm air toward polar regions and eventually shifts weather systems is literally air being carried forward.
