absorption rate
How fast absorbed
Absorption rate measures how quickly something is taken in or used up.
In real estate, it's the pace at which available homes sell in a given market over a specific period: At the current absorption rate, existing inventory will clear in six months.
In pharmacology, it describes how fast a drug enters the bloodstream.
The term appears wherever uptake speed matters—nutrients, chemicals, information.
