The bolded word that means “to carry water” is aqualung. The prefix "aqua-" refers to water, and "lung" implies a device that allows for breathing or carrying air (in this case, it refers to carrying air for divers underwater). However, none of the words directly translate to "to carry water." The most relevant word in relation to the root "aqua" is aquifer, as it involves water movement, but it does not mean "to carry."
