soddens
Makes completely waterlogged
Soddens is the third-person singular form of sodden, meaning to make or become thoroughly soaked or saturated.
Water soddens the ground; prolonged rain soddens everything it touches.
The word appears rarely as a verb—the adjective sodden (waterlogged, drunk) is far more common: sodden fields, a sodden drunk.
