== English == === Etymology === From Middle English fluid, from Latin fluidus (“flowing; fluid”), from Latin fluō (“to flow”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleh₁- (“to swell; surge; overflow; run”). Akin to Ancient Greek φλύειν (phlúein, “to swell; overflow”). Not related to English flow, which is a native, inherited word from *plew-, but is distantly related from English bleat. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈfluːɪd/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈfluɪd/ (Wales) IPA(key): /ˈflɪu̯ɪd/ (obsolete) IPA(key): /ˈfljuːɪd/ Rhymes: -uːɪd === Noun === fluid (countable and uncountable, plural fluids) Any substance which can flow with relative ease, tends to assume the shape of its container, and obeys Bernoulli's principle; a liquid, gas or plasma.
