Etymology
Hydraulics comes from Greek parts hydro- meaning 'water' and -aulos meaning 'pipe'. So hydraulics is the study of using water or other liquids in pipes to make movement or force to move and control machines. You can also see hydro- in words like hydrate and hydrant, which are about 'water'.
