Droukit

/ˈdruːkɪt/ adjective

Definition

Scottish dialect: soaked, drenched, or thoroughly saturated with moisture; thoroughly wet through.

Etymology

From drouk (verb) + -it (Scots adjectival past participle ending). Similar to droukan but with the -it variant common in some Scots dialects.

Kelly Says

Droukit is interchangeable with droukan in many Scots dialects—both capture that complete wetness that comes from Scottish weather, and they sound authentically gritty when spoken.
