are there any other words that have an inherent meaning of 'dried something'?
Jerky? I had to hunt for it, Merriam-Webster.com defines jerky as "jerked meat" then fails to define "jerked", but dictionary.com says that "jerk" in that sense is a back-formation from jerky and means, "To cut (meat) into long strips and dry in the sun or cure by exposing to smoke." Does that count?
