/ˈwɔːtə ˌsəʊldʒə/, U.S.

/ˈwɔdər ˌsoʊldʒər/,

/ˈwɑdər ˌsoʊldʒər/

Forms: see water n. and soldier n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: water n., soldier n.

Etymology: < water n. + soldier n., after classical Latin stratiōtes, name of an aquatic plant (Pliny; also in scientific Latin as Stratiotes , genus name (1753 in Linnaeus)) < Hellenistic Greek στρατιώτης , name of an aquatic plant, probably Pistia stratiotes, specific use of ancient Greek στρατιώτης soldier (see stratiote n.), so called on account of the plant's use to heal wounds. Compare earlier freshwater soldier n. 2, and further Latin and Greek parallels cited at that entry.

The aquatic plant Stratiotes aloides (family Hydrocharitaceae) of Europe and western Asia, which has long narrow, pointed leaves and white flowers. Also (with distinguishing word): †any of several other aquatic plants formerly included in the genus Stratiotes, including Ottelia alismoides and Enhalus acoroides (obsolete).
