I am adding another RFV for the English word suffusion, sense 4, a flush of red color on the surface of an object. It's possible that both this and the unfilled French sense are both medical senses, perhaps specifically meaning a suffusion of blood in both languages, visible from the surface of the skin in some cases if someone has a particularly serious infection under the skin. Thats just a guess though. I wasnt able to turn up anything obvious in which the word suffusion by itself in English refers to blushing or subcutaneous bleeding or anything else that could turn skin red, nor could i find reference to inanimate objects turning red without the word red being juxtaposed to make it clear. This sense has been present since the entry was created in 2005. —Soap— 11:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
