bathe
Immerse for cleansing
To bathe is to wash oneself or another in water, typically by immersion: She bathed the baby in the sink.
In British usage, bathe often means to swim: We bathed in the sea.
Light or warmth bathes something when it washes over it: Sunlight bathed the room.
To be bathed in sweat is to be drenched with it.
