pervade
UK: pəˈveɪd | US: pərˈveɪd
vt. to spread through or be present in every part of something
vt. to permeate or diffuse thoroughly
"Pervade" originates from Latin pervadere, combining per- (through) and vadere (to go). The word literally means "to go through," reflecting its modern sense of spreading diffusely or occupying every part of a space or concept. Over time, it evolved in English (early 17th century) to describe abstract permeation, such as smells, ideas, or influences saturating an environment.
