Crenitic

/krɛˈnɪtɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or produced by a spring; of or relating to spring water.

Etymology

From Latin 'crena' (spring) or possibly from Greek 'krene' (spring, fountain), with the suffix -itic meaning 'of or pertaining to.'

Kelly Says

Crenitic water from natural springs has special geological significance—it's been filtered through rock layers for years, which is why ancient peoples considered spring water sacred!
