Soaked up (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absorbed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">soaked up</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('absorb' can be a synonym of 'soak up')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for absorbed that I've seen before include "Assimilated" , "Deep in thought" , "Engrossed, immersed" , "Was a sponge" , "Wholly engrossed or imbued" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
