What does AQUA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pale blue-green colour, lighter than either blue or green.
Aqua is the Latin for water pressed into service as a colour name, doing the job turquoise does without the stone. The older sense hangs on in chemistry and old pharmacy, where aqua still simply means water — which is why a cosmetics label that opens with aqua is telling you the first ingredient is water and hoping you will not notice.
