osmosis \ os* mo" sis\ ([ o^] z* m[= o]" s[ i^] s), n. [ NL., fr. Gr. ' wsmo` s, equiv. to ' w^ sis impulse, fr. ' wqei^ n to push.] ( Chemical Physics) ( a) The tendency in fluids to mix, or become equably diffused, when in contact. It was first observed between fluids of differing densities, and as taking place through a membrane or an intervening porous structure. An older term for the phenomenon was { Osmose}. Note: The more rapid flow from the thinner to the thicker fluid was then called { endosmosis} ( formerly { endosmose}), and the opposite, slower current, { exosmosis} ( formerly { exosmose}). Both are, however, results of the same force. Osmosis may be regarded as a form of molecular attraction, allied to that of adhesion. See also { osmotic pressure}. ( b) The action produced by this tendency. [ 1913 Webster] 25 Moby Thesaurus words for " osmose": absorb, adsorb, assimilate, blot, blot up, chemisorb, chemosorb, digest, drink, drink in, drink up, engross, filter in, imbibe, infiltrate, percolate in, seep in, slurp up, soak in, soak up, sorb, sponge, swill up, take in, take up
