Small tree that's wet through (4)

I believe the answer is:

soak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wet through' is the definition.
'soak' can be an answer for 'wet' (soaking is a kind of wetting). I'm unsure of the 'through' bit.

'small tree' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'tree' becomes 'oak' (oak is a type of tree).
's'+'oak'='SOAK'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soak that I've seen before include "Steep in water" , "Immerse in liquid" , "Douse, drench" , "Steep (in fluid)" , "Make thoroughly wet" .)
