Etymology
The word 'exsiccate' comes from the Latin word 'exsiccatus', which means 'dried up'. It entered the English language in the early 17th century. The term has been primarily used in scientific and technical contexts to describe the process of removing moisture or drying out substances. Over time, 'exsiccate' has become a less common word in everyday language but remains relevant in specific fields where precision in drying is essential.
