Answer

VODKA

This word comes from the Slavic word 'voda' meaning water, with the diminutive suffix creating a term that roughly translates to 'little water.' It refers to a distilled alcoholic beverage that originated in Eastern Europe and is typically clear and unflavored, though modern varieties come in many flavors. The drink has been produced since at least the 8th or 9th century.

Strategy Tip
