washed
Put through water
Washed describes something that has been cleaned with water or another liquid: freshly washed clothes, a washed car.
In slang, washed (or washed up) means past one's prime, no longer relevant or competitive: He used to dominate the league, but now he's washed.
The slang sense suggests someone whose skills or relevance have faded, like colors in overwashed fabric.
