Morphology

hydromancer = hydro + mancer

The water-related prefix 'hydro-' is clear, but '-mancer' is a specialized bound element, so the divination meaning is not fully recoverable for an average learner.

Etymology

Hydromancer comes from the parts hydro- 'water' (as in hydrate) and -mancer 'one who predicts' (as in necromancer). So a hydromancer is someone who tells the future by watching or using water.
