To undergo or cause chemical weathering that creates eluvium; to have material broken down and accumulated in place at the surface.
From Latin 'eluvia' (weathered material) with the verb suffix '-ate,' describing the process by which rock weathers chemically and material accumulates.
When rocks eluviate, they're essentially being dissolved away by weak acids in rainwater—it's incredibly slow (taking thousands of years) but absolutely relentless, like nature's patient chemistry experiment.
