Penetrated

/ˈpenətreɪtɪd/ verb

Definition

To break through or pass into something; to understand or figure out a mystery or difficult concept.

Etymology

From Latin 'penetrare' (penetr- related to 'penes' meaning inner). Used literally for physical breakthrough and figuratively for mental understanding since Roman times.

Kelly Says

The dual meaning of 'penetrate'—both physically breaking through AND mentally understanding—appears in many languages, which suggests our ancestors thought about understanding something as similar to breaking through a barrier, showing how physical and mental concepts intertwine in language.
