Crossword Genius

Drenched in raw ethanol (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wet

'drenched' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'in raw ethanol' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'WET' can be found hidden inside 'raw ethanol'.

(Other definitions for wet that I've seen before include "Moist or Soaked" , "Moisture; feeble (colloq.)" , "Moderately Conservative" , "Saturated; rainy" , "Irresolute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
