seep v.

"ooze or percolate gently through pores," 1790, a variant of sipe (c. 1500), which is perhaps ultimately from Old English sipian "to seep," from Proto-Germanic *sip- (source also of Middle High German sifen, Dutch sijpelen "to ooze"), from PIE root *seib- "to pour out, drip, trickle" (see soap (n.)). Related: Seeped; seeping.
