Water is a clear liquid with no color or taste that all plants, animals, and people need to live.
“Water” comes from Old English “wæter,” from Proto-Germanic “watōr,” and is related to words for water in many European languages. The root is extremely ancient and goes back to Proto-Indo-European “*wódr̥.”
Water is one of the few substances that expands when it freezes, which is why ice floats and lakes don’t freeze solid from the bottom up. Its simple-looking molecule, H₂O, has weird powers: it can dissolve more substances than almost any other liquid.
