‘浇淋’ is a compound verb meaning 'to douse' or 'to shower (with liquid)', emphasizing the action of pouring or spraying liquid over something—often repeatedly or thoroughly. The first character, 浇 (jiāo), means 'to pour' (as in watering plants), while the second, 淋 (lín), means 'to pour over' or 'to let liquid drip down', as when rain soaks someone. Together, they intensify the sense of abundant, directed liquid application—not just light sprinkling, but thorough wetting.

This word is commonly used in contexts involving animal care (e.g., rinsing livestock after washing), food preparation (e.g., drizzling sauce over dishes), or cleaning tasks. It carries a neutral-to-formal register and appears more frequently in written instructions, veterinary guidelines, or culinary descriptions than in casual speech. While both characters can stand alone, ‘浇淋’ functions as a fixed two-syllable verb, typically followed by an object and often accompanied by aspect particles like 了 or 着.
