原始含义： to dry, to become dry
Latin 'siccare' (to dry)文化背景
When it comes to doing laundry in France, many people prefer to <a href="https://www.sublearn.com/blog/secher-le-linge">'sécher le linge'</a> (dry the laundry) naturally outdoors on a clothesline if the weather permits, rather than using a tumble dryer. This is often seen as more economical and environmentally friendly. You might also hear someone say 'j'ai soif, je suis tout sec' (I'm thirsty, I'm all dry) to express extreme thirst.
