The answer

AWASH

What awash means

Flooded or covered with water or another liquid, or overwhelmed by a large amount of something.

Where the word comes from

From the prefix "a-" (meaning "in" or "on") combined with "wash." The "a-" comes from Old English and was used to form descriptive states, as in "afire" or "aflame." "Wash" derives from Old English "wascan," related to Old Norse "vaska." Together, "awash" literally means "in a washed state" and came to describe something flooded or covered with water.
