Prostupující

Prostupující is a Czech term that translates to "penetrating" or "pervading" in English. It describes a substance or force that moves through, enters, or affects something thoroughly. The word can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a physical sense, "prostupující" might refer to a liquid that penetrates porous material, like water soaking into soil. It can also describe light that shines through a translucent object or sound waves that pass through walls. In construction, a penetrating sealant would be one that soaks into the material for protection.

Figuratively, "prostupující" describes an influence or quality that deeply affects a situation or a person's character. For example, a feeling of unease could be described as "prostupující" if it permeates an entire environment. Similarly, a pervasive ideology or a deeply ingrained habit could be characterized as "prostupující." The term suggests a thoroughness and an encompassing nature, indicating that something is not superficial but rather deeply embedded or influential.
