| Oct 22, 2015 at 7:52 | comment | added | David Richerby | @JoeDark I don't think that's a good choice, for two reasons. First, it's usually used with the meaning it has in chemistry, which is to absorb moisture from the air, and that's not what's happening here. Second, outside chemistry, it's a very rare word so it's not likely to be understood. Anyone who's familiar with the meaning from chemistry will misunderstand you; anyone who isn't, probably just won't understand. | |
