dehydrated
Lacking bodily fluids
Dehydrated means having lost water or moisture.
A dehydrated person needs fluids; dehydrated fruit has been dried for preservation.
The word works literally for bodies and foods, and loosely for anything parched or dried out: I woke up dehydrated after a night of drinking.
To dehydrate is to remove water or become depleted of it.
