Etymology
From Latin d?sicc?re (“to dry completely, dry up”) +? -ate (verb suffix indicating acting in the specified manner). D?sicc?re is derived from d?sicc? (“to desiccate, dry up; to drain dry”) (from d?- (prefix meaning ‘completely, to exhaustion’) + sicc? (“to dry; to drain, exhaust”), from siccus (“dry”), from Proto-Indo-European *seyk-) + -?re.
The adjective is derived from Latin d?sicc?tus (“dried up”), the perfect passive participle of d?sicc?: see above. The noun is derived from the adjective.
