To pour out or spread forth; a variant or related form suggesting the act of flowing or spreading outward.
From Latin 'effudere' (to pour out), combining 'ef-' (out) and 'fundere' (to pour). This is closely related to 'effuse,' which is the more common modern form.
This word shares a root with 'fund' (the bottom you pour money into) and 'foundry' (where molten metal is poured)—all stem from the Latin idea of pouring and flowing.
