Exsiccated/Exsiccation - was trying to think of a single English term that could be the equivalent of starvation; like if someone was dying of thirst, but I felt parched isn’t weighted enough to fulfill the gravity of it.
In latin exsiccare meant to dry up completely, so that’s how we got here I guess.
Thoughts? Is there a term I have forgotten that fits what I was looking for?
The scientific term is Turbo Parched
Is parched itself not strong enough to fit the bill? Nonnative speaker here.
No, parched is a light to moderate thirst.
I just never miss never miss an opportunity to slap turbo onto something, as a rule.
