Etymology

The word "water" traces back to Old English wæter, derived from Proto-Germanic watōr, which itself stems from the Proto-Indo-European root wod-or ("water"). This ancient root also gave rise to related terms in other languages, such as German Wasser and Russian вода (voda). The word has retained its core meaning across millennia, reflecting its fundamental role in human life and language.
