Plural of breakwater; protective structures built in water (like barriers or walls) designed to break waves and protect harbors or coastlines.
From 'break' plus 'water,' literally meaning something that breaks the force of water, with '-s' for plural.
Ancient breakwaters at places like Tyre and Alexandria are still standing after thousands of years—they're evidence that when you build something right, it can outlast empires!
