Understanding Hydraulics: Etymology & Facts by Sarah Joseph is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Hydraulics is defined as the science of liquids in motion and pressure, especially water. The word hydraulics comes from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water and "aulos" meaning pipe or tube. Water exists in three states - solid, liquid, and gas. Naethan learned the word hydraulics while playing scrabble and could use the word "hydra" in the game. The document states that water has three stages of solid, liquid, and gas and that hydraulics was discovered in the 17th century, not the 12th century.
