deliquesce (v)
To melt, dissolve or become fluid.
"After that it didn't take long for her to touch his lips and deliquesce into his arms."
--Salman Rushdie, The Satanic Verses
I'm clearly not living in a Salman Rushdie novel. The MG life is more like this: My wyfe heaves an iceberg into the kitchen sink (she's defrosting the fridge), and I stand there making it slowly deliquesce with hot water from the tap. Why? I don't know, but there is something meditative or even hypnotic about the process.
