(Chemistry) To cause (a solid substance) to be separated from a solution.

To put or go through a filter.

To cause to happen, especially suddenly or prematurely

The liquid or solution that has passed through a filter, and which has been separated from the filtride / filtrand

To cause to fall down from a height; hurl downward

To filter.

To put suddenly into a certain state or condition

To filter; to defecate; as liquid, by straining or percolation.

(Meteorology) To cause (a form of water, as rain or snow) to fall from the air.

That which has been filtered; the liquid which has passed through the filter in the process of filtration. Contrasted with retentate, the material remaining on the filter.

(Meteorology) To fall from the air as a form of water, such as rain or snow.

The product of filtration; a gas or liquid that has been passed through a filter

(Chemistry) To be separated from a solution as a solid.

Remove by passing through a filter;

Moving rapidly and heedlessly; speeding headlong.

Acting with or marked by excessive haste and lack of due deliberation.

Occurring suddenly or unexpectedly.

(Chemistry) A solid or solid phase separated from a solution.

A product resulting from a process, event, or course of action.

(transitive) To make something happen suddenly and quickly.

(transitive) To throw an object or person from a great height.

(transitive) To send violently into a certain state or condition.

To come out of a liquid solution into solid form.

To separate a substance out of a liquid solution into solid form.

To have water in the air fall to the ground, for example as rain, snow, sleet, or hail; be deposited as condensed droplets.

(transitive) To cause (water in the air) to condense or fall to the ground.

(intransitive) To fall headlong.

(intransitive) To act too hastily; to be precipitous.

Headlong; falling steeply or vertically.

Very steep; precipitous.

With a hasty impulse; hurried; headstrong.

Overhasty; rash; as, the king was too precipitate in declaring war.

Lacking due deliberation or care; hurried; said or done before the time; as, a precipitate measure.

Falling, flowing, or rushing, with steep descent; headlong.

Ending quickly in death; brief and fatal; as, a precipitate case of disease.

An insoluble substance separated from a solution in a concrete state by the action of some reagent added to the solution, or of some force, such as heat or cold. The precipitate may fall to the bottom (whence the name), may be diffused through the solution, or may float at or near the surface.

Atmospheric moisture condensed as rain or snow, etc.; same as precipitation{5}.

To throw headlong; to cast down from a precipice or height.

To urge or press on with eager haste or violence; to cause to happen, or come to a crisis, suddenly or too soon; as, precipitate a journey, or a conflict.

To dash or fall headlong.

To hasten without preparation.

A precipitated solid substance in suspension or after settling or filtering
