   What is the difference between imbue and imbrue?

   • Although imbue and imbrue have been used interchangeably in the past, they have different origins. Imbue comes from the Latin verb imbuere, meaning “to dye, wet, or moisten.” Imbue is used to describe the process of infusing something with a quality or feeling. Imbrue, an obscure word, has been traced back to the Latin verb bibere, meaning “to drink.” It originally meant ‘to drench or stain.’
