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. The word "impregnable" itself has two meanings, which kind of mean 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
Thanks (｡^ω^｡)ﾉ♡
