quench
Put out flames
Quench means to satisfy a thirst or to extinguish something.
You quench your thirst by drinking, quench a fire by dousing it with water.
The word extends to suppressing or stifling: The government quenched the rebellion.
In metalworking, to quench is to cool hot metal rapidly by plunging it into liquid, hardening it.
Nothing quenches thirst like cold water.
