Subject: lixivate inf.
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести lixivate.

Слово встречается в следующем контексте:

'Because the higher we are when we start coming down, the faster we'll all be going when we
hit,' said Mr Wonka. 'We've got to be going at an absolutely sizzling speed when we hit.'
'When we hit what?' they cried.
'The factory, of course,' answered Mr Wonka.
'You must be whackers,' said Grandma Josephine. 'We'll all be pulpified.'
'We'll be scrambled like eggs!' said Grandma Georgina.
'That,' said Mr Wonka, 'is a chance we shall have to take.'
'You're joking,' said Grandma Josephine. 'Tell us you're joking.'
'Madam,' said Mr Wonka, 'I never joke.'
'Oh, my dears' cried Grandma Georgina. 'We'll be lixivated, every one of us.'
'More than likely,' said Mr Wonka.
'The man's a madman!' cried Grandma Georgina. 'Watch out, I say, or he'll lixivate the lot of us.'
