The web-development sense is a specialized, metaphorical extension of 'hydrate' ('to supply with data/behaviour'), which may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Hydrated comes from an old Greek root hydor meaning 'water', the same root in hydrant and dehydrated. A helpful way to remember the web meaning is to imagine adding water to something dry to make it alive, because when JavaScript runs on server-made HTML it 'hydrates' the page by adding the code that makes it interactive, so a hydrated page responds to clicks.
