Pronunciation: [slˈe͡ɪkt] (IPA) 
The word "slaked" is spelled with the sound "ay" in the middle, which is represented by the phonetic symbol /eɪ/. This sound is created by combining the vowel sound of "eh" /ɛ/ with the vowel sound of "ee" /i/. So, "slaked" is pronounced as /sleɪkt/, meaning to quench or satisfy one's thirst, which is often used in the context of lime being mixed with water to make a slaked lime solution.
The term "slaked" is an adjective that refers to the state of being satisfied, quenched, or relieved of a desire or thirst. It originates from the verb "slake," which means to satisfy or quench.
When used to describe physical thirst, "slaked" implies that one's thirst has been fully quenched or satisfied by drinking water or any other refreshing liquid. It denotes the feeling of relief and contentment that follow the replenishment of lost fluids in the body.
In a figurative sense, "slaked" can describe the satisfaction of a desire, curiosity, or craving. For example, if a person has a deep desire to explore a foreign country and finally gets the opportunity to do so, their wanderlust can be slaked. In this context, "slaked" signifies achieving a sense of fulfillment or contentment after having fulfilled a long-awaited goal or aspiration.
The term can also be used to describe the extent to which a reaction or a process has occurred. For instance, in the context of chemical reactions or physical processes, "slaked" implies complete or thorough occurrence. For instance, when calcium oxide reacts fully with water to form calcium hydroxide, it is referred to as "slaked lime."
Overall, "slaked" denotes the state of being completely satisfied, quenched, or relieved, both in terms of physical sensations and figurative desires or cravings.

The word "slaked" comes from the Old English word "sleacian", which meant to quench or satisfy one's thirst. It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "slakōną", which means to slacken or become less intense. The term "slaked" eventually evolved to refer specifically to the process of slaking lime, which involves mixing it with water to produce hydrated lime.
