Vodruž

Vodruž is a relatively uncommon Czech word, typically found in older texts or used in a more archaic or literary style. It can function as a noun or a verb.

As a noun, vodruž signifies a type of watery soup or thin gruel. It often implies a simple, perhaps even meager, meal, and can carry connotations of poverty or hardship. Its consistency is thinner than a typical soup or stew. The precise ingredients and preparation method can vary, but the core characteristic remains its watery nature.

As a verb (though much less common), the form "vodružit" (perfective aspect) would imply the act of making something watery or diluting it. The reflexive form "vodružit se" (perfective aspect) could mean to become watery or diluted. However, these verbal forms are highly unusual and rarely encountered in contemporary Czech.

The word's usage evokes a sense of simplicity and basic sustenance, reflecting a time when food resources might have been scarce or limited.
