Usage Examples

Etymology

The French *aquarium* comes directly from Latin *aqua* “water” + the suffix *‑arium*, which marks a place or container. It entered French in the 17th–18th centuries to denote a vessel for keeping fish or aquatic plants, mirroring its English counterpart. The word has remained unchanged in spelling and sense since its adoption.
