Etymology

The word 'sodden' has its roots in the Middle English word 'sodden', which means 'to soften or make wet'. It is derived from the Old English term 'sodden', the past participle of 'sodan', which means 'to boil'. The transformation of the word into its current form reflects a shift in usage towards describing things that are overly wet or saturated, particularly in a context where moisture is undesirable. Over the centuries, the notion of soddening has been applied to various contexts, from cooking and food preparation to the effects of weather on materials and terrains. The process of soddening something often carries a negative connotation, suggesting that the item has lost its original texture or quality due to excessive moisture.
