    Other definition for those who don’t know. Like me, who had to look it up: infused or permeated with some substance, quality, element, etc.; saturate

      Thanks for the clarification but I still don’t know what any of those mean (⁠๑⁠´⁠•⁠.̫⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠`⁠๑⁠)

        Seems like she’s asking if he’d like the boots to be treated with (or soaked in) oils. To preserve them, possibly make them water-tight

          Correct. It’san older term for boots impregnable to water.

            Those are actually two different etymologies/meanings. Amazingly, the word “impregnable” itself has two meanings, which are kind of the opposite of each other.

            See etymology 1 and 2 here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnable

            For “impregnate”, it lists the meaning “to fill pores or spaces with a substance” under the same etymology as knocking someone up (which is etymology 2 above): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnate

              That is quite a coincidence
