TRICKLES Meaning and
Definition
-
Trickles, as a verb, refers to a slow and gradual movement or flow, often in a thin stream or small quantity. It typically implies a gentle or soft descent or dispersal of a liquid. The term is most commonly associated with the natural movement of water, although it can also be used metaphorically to describe the movement of other substances or concepts.
In the literal sense, trickles can describe the delicate flow of a liquid such as water, rain, or even tears, when it forms a thin stream or droplets that fall slowly and gradually. It suggests a gentle and uninterrupted movement that can be noticed and observed, yet is still relatively weak or sporadic compared to a heavier or more forceful flow.
However, the term can also be extended to describe the movement or dispersal of substances or concepts beyond liquids. For example, one may refer to information trickling into public knowledge, indicating that the dissemination is occurring gradually or in small increments. Similarly, trickles can be used metaphorically to describe the slow, yet persistent, progress of a project or development, highlighting its gradual advancement without any sudden or dramatic changes.
Overall, trickles convey the concept of a slow, gradual, and often continuous movement or dispersion, be it water, information, or even progress.
