Etymology

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).

Noun

vodka (plural vodkas)

1. A clear distilled alcoholic liquor made from grain mash
2. A serving of the above beverage
3. (US standard of identity) Neutral spirits distilled (or treated after distillation) so as to have no distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color
