herausströmen

Herausströmen is a German verb that describes the action of flowing or pouring out from something. It conveys a sense of active, often forceful, expulsion or emergence. This can apply to both physical substances and more abstract concepts.

In a physical sense, herausströmen can describe liquids like water escaping a container, or gases like smoke emanating from a chimney. It suggests a movement from an enclosed space into an open one. For example, one might say "Wasser strömte aus dem zerbrochenen Rohr heraus" (Water flowed out of the broken pipe).

Beyond the literal, herausströmen can also be used metaphorically. It can refer to the emergence of emotions or ideas. For instance, "Kreativität strömte aus dem Künstler heraus" (Creativity streamed out of the artist) suggests a powerful and abundant creative output. Similarly, a crowd might herausströmen from a building after an event. The core idea remains a release or emergence from a confined state into a broader space or activity. The verb emphasizes the outward movement and the process of the substance or concept becoming visible or accessible.
