pour
This word evokes a sense of continuous, fluid motion and volume. When used with liquids, it suggests a controlled or natural stream rather than a splash or a drip, emphasizing the steady transition from one vessel to another. In a figurative sense, the word shifts from physical fluidity to an abundance of resources. It describes an intense, often overwhelming investment of time or money, mirroring the way a liquid fills a space completely and rapidly.
