diffuse

dif fuse ▶verb |diˈfyo͞oz dəˈfjuz |spread or cause to spread over a wide area or among a large number of people: [ no obj. ] : technologies diffuse rapidly | [ with obj. ] : the problem is how to diffuse power without creating anarchy. • become or cause (a fluid, gas, individual atom, etc. ) to become intermingled with a substance by movement, typically in a specified direction or at specified speed: [ no obj. ] : oxygen molecules diffuse across the membrane | [ with obj. ] : gas is diffused into the bladder. • [ with obj. ] cause (light ) to glow faintly by dispersing it in many directions. ▶adjective |diˈfyo͞os dəˈfjus |spread out over a large area; not concentrated: the diffuse community centered on the church | the light is more diffuse. • (of disease ) not localized in the body: diffuse hyperplasia. • lacking clarity or conciseness: the second argument is more diffuse. DERIVATIVES dif fuse ly |-ˈfyo͞oslē |adverb, dif fuse ness |-ˈfyo͞osnis |noun ORIGIN late Middle English: from Latin diffus- ‘poured out, ’ from the verb diffundere, from dis- ‘away ’ + fundere ‘pour ’; the adjective via French diffus or Latin diffusus ‘extensive, ’ from diffundere. usage: The verbs diffuse and defuse sound similar but have different meanings. Diffuse means, broadly, ‘disperse, ’ while the nonliteral meaning of defuse is ‘reduce the danger or tension in. ’ Thus sentences such as Cooper successfully diffused the situation are regarded as incorrect, while Cooper successfully defused the situation would be correct. However, such uses of diffuse are widespread, and can make sense: the image in, for example, only peaceful dialogue between the two countries could diffuse tension is not of making a bomb safe but of reducing something dangerous to particles and dispersing them harmlessly.

 

diffuser
