- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary The German word "Wasser" comes from the same source as English "water," Proto-Indo-European *wod-/*wed- plus the common suffix –er. Without that initial [w], the same root gave us "otter," while the e-variant became "wet." The o-variant turns up in Russian voda "water" without any suffix and in "vodka" with a Russian diminutive suffix. This root picked up an [n] in Latin to become unda "wave," found in English "undulate" and "inundate." In Greek the initial [w] became [h], leading to "hydor" which underlies "hydra," the many-headed sea monster slain by Hercules and many other words referring to water, e.g. "hydrant," "hydroponic," and "dehydrate." âb
