This word conveys a sense of total saturation where a material cannot hold any more liquid. It suggests a heavy, weighted feeling, often associated with the discomfort of wet clothing or the thoroughness of a cleaning process. It is more intense than being merely wet or damp. In a figurative sense, the term can describe being deeply permeated by a quality or an emotion. When someone is soaked in a particular atmosphere or ideology, it implies a complete immersion that has altered their state of being, similar to how a fabric is changed by water.
