Definition
- Verb:
- To slosh gently: Describes the gentle, swaying movement of a liquid, typically contained within a vessel, causing it to move from side to side or appear as if it might spill over.
- To shimmer or glisten with movement: Often implies a visual effect where light reflects off the surface of a gently moving liquid, creating a shimmering appearance.
