🌱The transfusion gave her an immediate burst of energy, and her friends were astonished when they arrived at the hospital that afternoon. 🌳When blood transfusions were first attempted by Europeans in the early 1600s, they were met with skepticism, since the established practice was to bleed patients, not transfuse them with blood. Some patients were transfused with animal blood, and so many died as a result that by 1700 transfusions had been widely outlawed. Not until 1900 were the major blood groups （A, B, AB, and O） recognized, making transfusions safe and effective. effusive 1、 Given to excessive display of feeling.
2、 Freely expressed.
🌱At the victory party she lavished effusive praise on all her supporters for almost half an hour. 🌳Since to effuse is to "pour out," an effusive person makes a habit of pouring out emotions. Greeting someone effusively may include great hugs and wet kisses. Academy Award winners tend to become embarrassingly effusive once they've got the microphone. But at least effusiveness is generally an expression of positive rather than negative emotions. profusion Great abundance.
🌱In May the trees and flowers bloom with almost delirious profusion. 🌳A profusion is literally a "pouring forth," so a profusion of gifts is a wealth or abundance of gifts. A profusely illustrated book is filled to overflowing with pictures. A bad social error should be followed by profuse apologies, and profound gratitude should be expressed with profuse thanks. suffuse To spread over or fill something, as if by fluid or light.
🌱As the soft light of dawn suffused the landscape, they could hear the loons crying over the lake. 🌳The odors of baking may suffuse a room, and so may the light of a sunset. A face may be suffused （that is, filled, but also probably flushed） with joy, or hope, or love. A novel may be suffused with Irish humor, and a room may be suffused with firelight. Scientists may even describe an insect's gray wings as being suffused with tinges of red.
