permeations
Slow substance infiltrations
Permeations are instances of spreading or passing through something.
Water permeations through a basement wall leave damp patches.
The permeations of Western culture into traditional societies have accelerated with the internet.
The word suggests gradual, thorough diffusion rather than sudden invasion: The permeations of jazz into classical music took decades to become evident.
