flushing
Cleansing with water
Flushing is the action of cleaning or clearing something with a rush of water or other liquid.
You flush a toilet, flush debris from a wound, or flush a cooling system.
Extended senses involve driving out or revealing: Police flushed the suspect from hiding.
Flushing also describes the reddening of skin from emotion, exertion, or heat: Her face was flushing with embarrassment.
A flush of something is a sudden surge: a flush of pride, a flush of new growth.
