What does DRENCH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make something completely wet, as if it had been soaked right through.
To drench is stronger than to wet: it means that the water has gone everywhere, through the clothes and into the skin, or into every fibre of the thing. It is most often heard in the passive, as in being drenched by rain or a wave. The word also has a specialised farming sense, to give an animal liquid medicine by pouring it down its throat, and the medicine itself is called a drench. Its figurative use, to drench something in colour or light, treats the quality as if it were a flood.
How DRENCH is used
Common in everyday English; the veterinary sense is used among farmers and animal handlers.
- The sudden storm will drench everyone on the platform.
