Extinguished, as a fire (6)

I believe the answer is:

doused

(Other definitions for doused that I've seen before include "put out" , "Extinguished, threw water over" , "Extinguished or soaked" , "Plunged something into water or extinguished a fire" , "Drenched, soaked" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
