Definition
To spread through or fill something completely, often by passing gradually through every part. It can be used for physical things like smells or liquids, or for ideas and feelings.
Etymology
From Latin “permeare” meaning “to pass through,” from “per-” (through) + “meare” (to go). It kept the sense of moving through and filling up.
Kelly Says
When a smell permeates a room, there’s no corner that escapes it—that’s the power of the word. Ideas can permeate a culture the same way, slowly soaking into people’s habits and beliefs until they feel ‘normal.’
