dryfu
Dryfu is a term that lacks a single, widely accepted definition. Because it appears in diverse contexts, a wiki-style article on dryfu must acknowledge its polysemous usage and emphasize source context. In online writing and speculative fiction, dryfu is sometimes used to denote a fictional technique, device, or material associated with moisture control, rapid desiccation, or dry-state preservation. In branding or product naming, dryfu may appear as a proper noun for goods or services, with meanings determined by the creator or manufacturer. Etymology is uncertain; the form appears to combine the English word dry with an affix that resembles -fu, or it may be an invented term from a particular work. There is no standard history, specification, or certification for dryfu in science, engineering, or commerce, and it is not listed in major reference works. As a result, references to dryfu are highly source-dependent and can be misleading without clear context. See also: desiccation, moisture management, neologism.
