[ 'väd-k& ] (noun.) circa 1803. Slavic voda, woda, meaning water, plus the diminutive suffix -ka. Historical documentary research of V. Pokhlyobkin suggests the derivation via the usage "dilution (of distillate) with water", as used in expressions "vodka of grain wine" and similar; хлебное вино (“grain wine”) is an archaic Russian name for vodka. The standard of identity is from the Code of Federal Regulations, title 27, section 5.22(a)(1).
