water·er n.

Word History: Water is wet, even etymologically. The Indo-European root of water is *wed-, "wet." This root could appear in several guiseswith the vowel e, as here, or as *wod-, or with no vowel between the w and d, yielding *ud-. All three forms of the root appear in English either in native or in borrowed words. From a form with a long e, *wd-, which by Grimm's Law became *wt- in Germanic, we have Old English wt, "wet," which became modern English wet. The form *wod-, in a suffixed form *wod-r, became *watar in Germanic and eventually water in modern English. From the form *ud- the Greeks got their word for water, hud-r, the source of our prefix hydro- and related words like hydrant. The suffixes *-r and *-ros added to the form *ud- yielded the Greek word hudr, "water snake" (borrowed into English as hydra), and the Germanic word *otraz, the source of our word otter, the water animal.

water  (wôtr)

A colorless, odorless compound of hydrogen and oxygen. Water covers about three-quarters of the Earth's surface in solid form (ice) and liquid form, and is prevalent in the lower atmosphere in its gaseous form, water vapor. Water is an unusually good solvent for a large variety of substances, and is an essential component of all organisms, being necessary for most biological processes. Unlike most substances, water is less dense as ice than in liquid form; thus, ice floats on liquid water. Water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F). Chemical formula: H₂O.
