gravity's invitation, accepted before your brain files an objection.
means To dive, fall, or thrust suddenly and forcefully downward or into something, often without hesitation.
from From Old French 'plongier,' to plunge or immerse, going back to a Vulgar Latin '*plumbicare' — to heave the lead. The root is Latin 'plumbum,' lead, the same heavy metal that gives us 'plumber' and 'plumb line.' So buried inside the word is a sinker: the lead weight dropped overboard, dragging the line straight down into the deep.
