Hypotonic solutions are solutions that have lower osmotic pressure compared to the contents of the cell. Osmotic pressure is the pressure that occurs inside a cell due to the concentration of solutes. When a solution has a lower osmotic pressure, it can penetrate the cell through the membrane and change its composition. This can lead to various physiological effects, such as changes in the concentration of electrolytes and other substances in the cell. Hypotonic solutions can be used to treat various diseases associated with impaired osmotic pressure in the body. They can also be used as food additives to improve its properties and increase its nutritional value.

An epithet is used colloquially to indicate a situation in which something has a less strong or intense expression. The concept first appeared and was described in the 1955 edition of the English-Russian dictionary.
