  1. 1穿透、滲透；（商業）市場滲透率

    Penetration is the act of going into or all the way through something, whether that's physical — water penetration through a roof, a needle's penetration of the skin — or more abstract, like a company's 'market penetration,' meaning how much of a market it has managed to reach and sell into. You'll see it a lot in business and science writing in this second, everyday sense, not just the physical one.

From the word’s history
