Movement of a solvent through a membrane (7)

I believe the answer is:

osmosis

(Other definitions for osmosis that I've seen before include "Miss Soo? (anag)" , "Process of gradual assimilation of ideas" , "Process of gradual absorption" , "Passage of bodily fluid through porous partition" , "Large shopping area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
