### Etymology

From вода́ (vodá, “water”) +‎ -ка (-ka, diminutive suffix). First attested in 1533, at first only in medical context; the beverage sense appeared in the 17th century and became widespread in the 19th, displacing хле́бное вино́ (xlébnoje vinó, literally “grain wine”) by the early 20th century. The beverage sense is probably a semantic loan from Polish wódka, which, per Brückner, in turn may be a semantic loan from Medieval Latin aqua vitae.
