Aquarium

/əˈkwɛəriəm/ or /əˈkwɛriəm/ noun

Definition

An aquarium is a glass tank or building where fish and other water animals and plants are kept and displayed.

Etymology

From Latin "aqua" meaning "water" plus the ending "-arium" meaning "a place for." It literally means "a place for water" or water creatures.

Kelly Says

Aquarium is the watery cousin of "terrarium" (earth-place) and "planetarium" (planet-place). Once you spot the “-arium” pattern, you see little themed worlds everywhere.
