Moist
Definition:
(a.) Moderately wet; damp; humid; not dry; as, a moist atmosphere or air.
(a.) Fresh, or new.
(v. t.) To moisten.
Example Sentences:
(1) During suction a flow of cold, dry room air replaces the warm, moist cavity air, causing cooling both directly and by vaporization of water.
(2) Isolated frog retinas kept receptor side-upward in a moist chamber without perfusion showed the well-known slow PIII generated by the potassium decrease around receptors.
(3) All but one of the isolations were made from moist or wet samples.

(5) The vacuum flask method of using boiling water to decontaminate soft contact lenses is better and less expensive than other ways of using moist heat and can be safely and effectively applied under most domestic circumstances.
