Root Explanation

Unsoaked → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "soaked" (from Old English "sōcian", meaning to wet or absorb). The word "unsoaked" means not wet or not absorbed with liquid.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'wet' or 'absorbed' ('soaked') — that's why unsoaked means something that is not wet.
