单词 | exudation |
释义 | exudation (once / 20773 pages) n Those unpleasant stains around your armpits — that's an exudation, dude — the release of a bodily liquid through your skin. In general an exudation is pretty smelly stuff: sweat, oil and various other discharges we can't mention on a family site. Plants and animals create their own exudations too. Funnily enough, while the noun exudation almost always refers to a physical discharge of fluid, the verb, to exude has a far more figurative meaning. Sure, you can exude bad smells or liquids, but you can also exude good will, bonhomie, love and just about any other emotion you can think of.
