Pronunciation: /əˈfjuːz/

verb

Etymology: Borrowed from Latin affundō (“I pour, sprinkle, or scatter onto”, perfect passive participial stem: affūs-).

  1. To pour out or upon.

    [I] poured on them acid liquors, to try if they contained any volatile salt or spirit, which (had there been any there) would probably have discovered itself by making an ebullition with the affused liquor.
