British Dictionary definitions for absorption
absorption
/ (əbˈsɔːpʃən, -ˈzɔːp-) /
noun
the process of absorbing or the state of being absorbed
physiol
normal assimilation by the tissues of the products of digestion
the passage of a gas, fluid, drug, etc, through the mucous membranes or skin
physicsa reduction of the intensity of any form of radiated energy as a result of energy conversion in a medium, such as the conversion of sound energy into heat

Word Origin for absorption
C16: from Latin absorptiōn-, from absorbēre to absorb
BiologyThe movement of a substance, such as a liquid or solute, across a cell membrane by means of diffusion or osmosis.
ChemistryThe process by which one substance, such as a solid or liquid, takes up another substance, such as a liquid or gas, through minute pores or spaces between its molecules. A paper towel takes up water, and water takes up carbon dioxide, by absorption. Compare adsorption.
PhysicsThe taking up and storing of energy, such as radiation, light, or sound, without it being reflected or transmitted. During absorption, the energy may change from one form into another. When radiation strikes the electrons in an atom, the electrons move to a higher orbit or state of excitement by absorption of the radiation's energy.
