Immersed


Definition:

  • (imp. & p. p.) of Immerse
  • (p. p. & a.) Deeply plunged into anything, especially a fluid.
  • (p. p. & a.) Deeply occupied; engrossed; entangled.
  • (p. p. & a.) Growing wholly under water.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The efficacy of the process is dependent on immersion medium, while the degree of surrounding tissue damage is dependent on energy dose.
