the only substance you can drink, swim in, freeze into a weapon, and still mostly ignore.
means The clear, colorless liquid made of hydrogen and oxygen that fills oceans, falls as rain, and keeps every living thing alive.
from From Old English 'wæter,' rooted in Proto-Germanic 'watar' — the same source that gave German 'Wasser' and Dutch 'water.' Trace it further back and you reach the Proto-Indo-European root 'wod-' or 'wed-,' which rippled out into a huge family: Greek 'hydor' (as in hydrant), Latin 'unda' (a wave, as in undulate), and Russian 'voda' (the 'wod' hiding inside vodka, literally 'little water'). Few words have flowed so widely or so long.
