Definition:
A wake is the disturbed trail that follows after something passes through stillness. In water, it spreads outward in ripples, making motion visible after the source has moved on. The word also suggests consequence—effects that remain once an action is finished. Wakes can be gentle or violent depending on what made them. It captures aftermath shaped into pattern.
