ölgetränkter

Ölgetränkter is a German adjective that translates to "oil-soaked" or "saturated with oil." It is used to describe something that has absorbed a significant amount of oil, to the point where it is dripping or thoroughly permeated.

The term can be applied to a variety of contexts. For instance, it might describe a piece of fabric or paper that has been used to clean up an oil spill and is now heavy and saturated. In a culinary context, it could refer to food that has been fried for too long and has absorbed an excessive amount of cooking oil, making it greasy and heavy. Similarly, machinery parts or tools that are constantly exposed to lubricants or hydraulic fluids might be described as ölgetränkter.

The adjective carries a connotation of being excessively permeated, often implying a state that is undesirable or messy due to the overabundance of oil. It suggests a lack of dryness and a considerable weight or stickiness resulting from the oil absorption. The opposite would be something dry or free from oil.
