soddening
Getting thoroughly wet
Soddening is making or becoming thoroughly soaked or saturated.
Rain soddens the ground; tears sodden a handkerchief.
The word implies a heavy, waterlogged state: The soddening fields made harvest impossible.
Figuratively, something soddening dulls or stupefies, as alcohol soddens the mind.
