infuser

Noun

pl: infusers

This term describes a specialized tool designed for the gradual release of substances into a liquid or a biological system. In a culinary context, it refers to a physical barrier that allows water to penetrate and extract flavors from tea or herbs while preventing the solids from floating freely in the cup.

In medical terminology, the word shifts toward a high-precision delivery system. Here, it denotes a device—often an automated pump—that ensures a steady, calibrated flow of medication, such as insulin, into the bloodstream to mimic natural physiological processes.
