wrung-out
Squeezed of moisture
Wrung-out describes something that has had liquid squeezed or twisted from it: a wrung-out washcloth.
Figuratively, it means emotionally or physically exhausted, drained of all energy: After the divorce proceedings, she felt completely wrung-out.
The image is of a person squeezed dry like wet fabric.
