impregnated
Infused with substance
Impregnated means saturated or infused with a substance: wood impregnated with preservative, fabric impregnated with waterproofing.
The word also means made pregnant—a usage that sounds clinical or formal: The embryo was impregnated via IVF.
Both senses share the idea of something being filled or permeated from outside.
