vocabulary扩展 Effluent traces back to a Latin word meaning “flowing out,” and as an adjective the word can still be used in that sense. An effluent stream is one whose water is continually flowing out of the ground, from a spring or other source. But the noun form of effluent refers to waste of some kind that’s been mixed with water. If effluent is released, it can contaminate a water supply. Gross.
