Completely wet or saturated with liquid; thoroughly drenched.
From Old English socian 'to steep, saturate,' related to sūcan 'to suck.' The word originally described the process of absorbing liquid completely, like a sponge drawing in water.
The word 'soaked' captures the complete saturation that goes beyond merely 'wet' - it implies absorption and penetration. In slang, 'soaked' also means extremely drunk, showing how liquid metaphors extend to describe altered states.
