leach
Leach refers to the process through which a substance is drained or removed from a solid (like soil, ash, or similar materials) by dissolving it in a liquid, usually water or other solvents, and then percolating or filtering it out. It can also refer to the substance that has been thus removed. Furthermore, in environmental sciences, leaching refers to the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil, due to rain and irrigation.
