English Synonyms and Antonyms
dip
Dip is Saxon, while immerse is Latin for the same initial act; dip is accordingly the more popular and commonplace, immerse the more elegant and dignified expression in many cases. To speak of baptism by immersion as dipping now seems rude; tho entirely proper and usual in early English. Baptists now universally use the word immerse. To dip and to immerse alike signify to bury or submerge some object in a liquid; but dip implies that the object dipped is at once removed from the liquid, while immerse is wholly silent as to the removal. Immerse also suggests more absolute completeness of the action; one may dip his sleeve or dip a sponge in a liquid, if he but touches the edge; if he immerses it, he completely sinks it under, and covers it with the liquid. Submerge implies that the object can not readily be removed, if at all; as, a submerged wreck. To plunge is to immerse suddenly and violently, for which douse and duck are colloquial terms. Dip is used, also, unlike the other words, to denote the putting of a hollow vessel into a liquid in order to remove a portion of it; in this sense we say dip up, dip out. Compare synonyms for BURY.

bury, douse, duck, immerge, immerse, plunge, sink, submergePreposition:

How to use dip in a sentence?
When providing a DIP, lenders will want to button down everything that hasn’t already been pledged as collateral, having unencumbered assets in a bankruptcy gives the debtor a bargaining chip with the various constituents at the table, which they would likely have to give up in order to get a DIP loan.
While we see the Fed as being more hawkish this week, it is only one of several speed bumps ahead in what is an environment supportive for risk, the current profit-taking induced in part by pressure on China’s Tech is unlikely to last long as U.S. stocks should again be bought on the dip.
That's the concern. Despite some equities looking attractive the macro concern is giving investors a reason to pause and not so aggressively buy the dip.
You need more confidence out there. The greater the confidence, the more investors are going to dip into the waters, we want to see a little more stability in the marketplace.
Sanford Bernstein analyst Mark Moerdler:
People looked at Office as a product that was going to be in decline, we saw a dip, last quarter we came out of that dip, and now we're accelerating out of the dip.
