adjective/enˈxuto/
shriveled; dry; withered, skinny, skin and bones
Inherited from Old Spanish enxuto, from Latin exsūctus, perfect passive participle of exsūgō, from ex + sūgō. Compare Portuguese enxuto, Catalan eixut, Italian asciutto. In pre-literary Spanish, the word likely had the form *eissuito (compare also Old Galician-Portuguese enxoyto, Galician enxoito), and then underwent a change of prefix through influence from enjugar (the same process affecting other Ibero-Romance languages), with the ending being influenced by past participles such as roto, escr
