Word origin
The word 'drench' originated from Middle English 'drenche', which comes from Old English 'drencan' meaning 'to cause to drink'. Over time, the meaning expanded to include soaking or wetting thoroughly, both in terms of drinking and weather. The word has been in use for centuries to describe the act of saturating with liquid.
