/ˈsiːpɪdʒ/, U.S.

/ˈsipɪdʒ/

Forms: Also seipage, sepage.

Etymology: < seep v. + -age suffix. Compare sipage n.

Originally Scottish and U.S.

Percolation or oozing of water or fluid; leakage; spec. the slow movement of water into or out of the ground (as distinct from percolation through it); the slow movement of water through the ground under the action of gravity. Also, that which oozes.
