spread out and not concentrated
Spread out over a wide area and not strong or focused in one place.
استعمال کا انداز:
a diffuse [thing] / [thing] is diffuse

فعل
C1
action
2
to spread out over an area
To move or make something move slowly outwards so that it covers a wide area or passes through something.
استعمال کا انداز:
to diffuse [substance/light/idea] through [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "diffuse" with "defuse". "Diffuse" means to spread something out (e.g. "The gas diffuses through the room"), while "defuse" means to make something less dangerous or tense (e.g. "They tried to defuse the crisis"). "Defuse" is the standard verb for reducing tension, not "diffuse".
ہم معنی الفاظ
spread (More general and common; does not carry the slow, even movement that "diffuse" often suggests in scientific or careful descriptions.)
|
disperse (Often used for things breaking up and moving apart; can sound more sudden or active than "diffuse".)
متضاد الفاظ
concentrate (Means bringing things together into a smaller area, the opposite of letting them spread out.)
|
contain (Focuses on keeping something from spreading, the opposite action of allowing it to diffuse.)
