The word evokes a sense of rhythmic, repetitive motion. In a physical sense, it suggests a pulsing energy that travels from one point to another, whether it is the physical heave of the ocean or the invisible vibration of a signal. It carries a feeling of fluidity and inevitable movement. When used to describe emotions or events, it suggests an overwhelming force that arrives suddenly and washes over a person or a group. This creates a psychological image of being submerged or carried away by a powerful, uncontrollable impulse, distinguishing it from a steady state of feeling.

Countable when referring to individual crests of water or specific cycles of energy. Uncountable when referring to the general movement of the sea.
