immersions
Deep plunges in
Immersions is the plural of immersion—instances of being plunged into something, whether literal or figurative.
Water immersions occur in baptism rituals and cold therapy.
Language immersions place learners in environments where only the target language is spoken: The program offers total immersions in Spanish-speaking communities.
The word often describes deep engagement: Her immersions in medieval history shaped her novels.
