Awash(uh-WOSH)

Quick Detail: Awash describes something covered or flooded by a flowing substance such as water or light, often with a sense of motion.

Definition: Awash describes a surface overwhelmed by water, light, or even emotion. The coverage is complete enough to blur distinctions between what lies above and below. The word suggests movement that continually renews itself, never quite still. Things awash often carry reflective sheen or shifting clarity. It captures the sense of being completely immersed in something that cannot be contained.
