Soggy

/ˈsɒɡi/ adjective

Definition

Very wet and soft, often in a way that makes something unpleasant or ruined; saturated with moisture.

Etymology

Possibly from Old Norse 'sokr' meaning 'soaked,' or related to the word 'soak.' The word emerged in English around the 1600s to describe the unpleasant quality of excessive wetness.

Kelly Says

Soggy cereal is the enemy of breakfast, but the word itself has a delightfully onomatopoetic quality—it almost sounds like the squishing sound a wet sponge makes.
