infuse
Soak to flavor
To infuse is to introduce something into another substance or entity, allowing it to permeate.
Tea infuses when steeped in hot water; the water becomes infused with flavor.
The meaning extends to intangibles: Her presence infused the room with energy, a speech infused with passion.
In medicine, to infuse is to introduce fluid into the body, typically intravenously.
