What's the difference between percolate and suffuse?

Percolate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To cause to pass through fine interstices, as a liquor; to filter; to strain.
  • (v. i.) To pass through fine interstices; to filter; as, water percolates through porous stone.

Suffuse


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To overspread, as with a fluid or tincture; to fill or cover, as with something fluid; as, eyes suffused with tears; cheeks suffused with blushes.

Example Sentences:
