-
To blow as a flower. In Pathology, efflorescence has the same meaning as exanthema; and, in the nosology of Sauvages, the name is given to that order of diseases. Sometimes, it is confined to the cutaneous blush, the exanthesis of Good. Efflorescence is, also, the conversion of a solid substance into a pulverulent state by exposure to the air. In salts this is generally owing to the loss of a part of their water of crystallization.
