launder
This term operates on two distinct planes: the literal and the figurative. In its primary sense, it describes the industrial or professional process of cleaning textiles, carrying a connotation of thoroughness and systematic care that distinguishes it from the more casual act of washing. It is frequently associated with commercial services or high-standard domestic maintenance.
In a legal and financial context, the word takes on a sinister meaning, describing the process of making "dirty" money appear "clean." This usage evokes the image of scrubbing away the evidence of a crime to make illicit gains appear legitimate. Because of this strong association with white-collar crime, the term is almost exclusively used in negative or criminal contexts when applied to finance.
