The spelling of the word "de luged" might seem confusing, but it's simply a past tense form of the verb "deluge" (dɪˈluːdʒ). The "de" prefix indicates that the action has already happened, while the "ug" sound in "deluge" is represented by the letters "uge" in "deluged." Essentially, "deluged" (dɪˈluːdʒd) means that something has been flooded or overwhelmed by a large amount of water, information, or emotions. So, if you're caught in a sudden rainstorm and feel like you've been deluged by water, you could say "I just got de luged!"
