Diffusion is a random spreading out of something. Culture involves many thngs, such as languages, religions, techniques, attitudes, fashions, etc. Since people travel, there is a certain amount of contact between members of one culture and members of other cultures, even if they live in very insular communities. People will then pick things up from other cultures, in a somewhat random manner. Gradually, ideas spread from one culture to another. That is cultural diffusion.
