slaked

No longer parched

Slaked describes something that has been satisfied or quenched—most often thirst or lime.

To slake thirst is to satisfy it completely: She slaked her thirst with cold water.

Slaked lime is calcium hydroxite that has been treated with water, used in mortar and plaster.

The word appears almost exclusively in these two contexts.
