Morphology
hydrokinetics = hydrokinetic (transparent) = hydro + kinetic + ics
The word is built transparently from hydro- plus kinetic and the nominalizing suffix -ics, so its reference to the study of moving fluids is straightforward.
Etymology
Hydrokinetics comes from hydro- 'water' and kinetic 'movement', the same 'kinetic' you see in 'kinetic energy', so it creates the image of water that is moving. That's why hydrokinetics means the study of water in motion, like waves, currents, and how they push and move things.
