What's the difference between effusion and liquid?

Effusion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of pouring out; as, effusion of water, of blood, of grace, of words, and the like.
  • (n.) That which is poured out, literally or figuratively.
  • (n.) The escape of a fluid out of its natural vessel, either by rupture of the vessel, or by exudation through its walls. It may pass into the substance of an organ, or issue upon a free surface.
  • (n.) The liquid escaping or exuded.
