How Hydrated
Surface Forms
Morphology
hydrate = hydro (transparent) = hydr + ate
Formed from the water-related combining form hydr-/hydro- plus the verbal suffix -ate, so the meaning 'to add or supply water' is predictable.
Etymology
Hydrate comes from the Greek root hydor meaning 'water', the same hydro- you see in everyday words like hydrant and dehydrate. So to hydrate is to give or take in 'water' — to add water or keep something healthy and balanced.
