1. To blossom forth. --Carlyle.

2. (Chem.) To change on the surface, or throughout, to a
whitish, mealy, or crystalline powder, from a gradual
decomposition, esp. from the loss of water, on simple
exposure to the air; as, Glauber's salts, and many others,

of limestone caverns sometimes effloresce with nitrate of
calcium in consequence of the action of nitric acid formed
in the atmosphere.
