Two Greek roots give rise to the phrase hydroponic: hydro-, which means "water," and ponein, which means "to labor, work, or toil."

The term "hydroponics" was coined by Dr. William F. Gericke of the University of California refers to the practice of growing crops both indoors and outdoors in nutrient-enriched water and non-soil medium.
