effusion
含义: An unrestrained outpouring of feeling, either in speech or writing. In medicine, the escape of fluid into a body cavity.
Effusion carries a slightly pejorative tone when describing emotional expression, implying excessive or embarrassing gushing. It commonly collocates with 'of gratitude,' 'of praise,' or 'of sentiment.' The medical sense — as in 'pleural effusion' or 'pericardial effusion' — is entirely neutral and describes the abnormal accumulation of fluid. The adjective 'effusive' is more commonly encountered in everyday English.
