LEACH
What leach means
To seep or drain away slowly, or to extract a soluble substance from soil or other material by the gradual percolation of liquid through it.
Where the word comes from
Leach comes from Old English "læccan," meaning to moisten or soak. This likely derives from Proto-Germanic roots related to moisture and liquid. The modern sense—a substance filtering through soil or a parasitic worm—developed from the idea of liquid seeping through or draining away, with the worm meaning influenced by an old word for the bloodsucking creature.
