Also see ablutions.
I use ablute as a verb all the time and think it's a shame this excellent word isn't "official"
...The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors–
- John Keats, 'Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art'.
When washbowl
maintains it has no more holy calling
than physical ablution
from "Tale of a Tub," by Sylvia Plath
Perhaps performed in a neccessarium.
