IMBUE
What imbue means
To fill or inspire someone deeply with a particular quality, feeling, or characteristic that becomes an essential part of them.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *embruer*, meaning "to stain or soak," derived from Latin *imbuere*, which means "to wet or soak." The prefix *im-* (into) combines with a root possibly related to Latin *bibere* (to drink), suggesting the original sense of liquid soaking into something. Over time, the meaning expanded metaphorically to include instilling qualities or feelings into a person or thing.
