What's the best synonym for pervade?

C. Pervade is made of two parts, per, which means through in Latin, and vade, from latin vado, which means to go or to wade, and is cognate with English wade. Permeate is made from per, which means through in latin, and meate, from Latin meare, which means to go as well.
