Meaning of dipear

dipear: A word of recent use, which expresses the action of eating by sprinkling a food in a sauce, usually as an appetizer.; It is a Spanglish with the same meaning as the English dip ("to dip a food in sauce before putting it in the mouth"), as a reduced form of the expression dipping sauce ("dressing or sauce to introduce and bathe a bite"), which is related to deep. See suffix -ear.; It means soaking a food in its sauce. It seems to derive from deep (English word pronounced diip) which means deep, sunken, dark, low. Sinking a food in a sauce in order to dip or soften it. Our language is rich in words that can mean the same thing: wet, soak, impregnate, immerse, bathe, spread. . . .
