A Scottish and Northern English dialect word meaning to soak, drench, or saturate thoroughly with liquid, especially water.
From Middle English druken or drowken, related to Old English drencan 'to make drink.' Connected to Proto-Germanic roots meaning to steep or soak.
Drouk is the opposite of droughty—where droughty means parched, drouk means soaked; Scottish dialect preserved this verb for that sudden, complete drenching.
