Etymology
From Middle English liquide, from Old French liquide, from Latin liquidus (“fluid, liquid, moist”), from lique? (“to be liquid, be fluid”). Doublet of liquidus. As a term for a consonant, it comes from Latin liquida (c?ns?n?ns), a calque of Ancient Greek ????? (????????) (hugròn (súmph?non), “liquid consonant”).

Usage notes
The differentiation of a liquid as an incompressible fluid is not strictly correct, experiments having shown that liquids are compressible to a very limited extent. See fluid.
