Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro liquidātus (liquid; clear) + English -ate. Liquidātus is the perfect passive participle of liquidō (to turn into a liquid, melt; to make clear), from Latin liquidus (fluid, liquid; clear, transparent) + -ō; while liquidus is from liqueō (to be fluid or liquid; to be clear or transparent) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wleykʷ- (to make wet; moist)) + -idus. liquid.
