empapado
/empaˈpado/ · B2 · adj
soaked
💧👕 em- (in) + papa (mush/pap): so wet it turns to mush, like bread soaked in liquid
Empapado comes from empapar, built on papa (soft mush, pap) with the prefix em- meaning in/into. Something empapado has been turned into pap by liquid: a sodden sponge or soaked bread. Link the word's 'pap' sound to the soggy mush texture.
