sink
Kitchen washing station
To sink is to move downwards, particularly in water, and sometimes with dire results, as when a ship sinks.
If your hopes sink or your heart sinks, this also suggests a dire outcome.
To sink something sharp (teeth, claws, fangs) into a surface is to penetrate it.
When something sinks in, it penetrates a surface or your mind.
A sink is a basin, supplied with water and with a drain in the bottom.
A sink is also a low place where waste or vice is concentrated.
