Where does distilled water get its name from?

Answer 1

Distilled water gets its name from the distillation process used to "make" it.

In the distillation process, contaminated water is heated until it reaches its boiling point. Once the water has begun to evaporate, the heat is kept at a constant to ensure that contaminants with a higher boiling point than water do not also evaporate. The steam from the water is led through a series of tubes into a separate container where it is allowed to condense into the liquid form.

'''The object of distillation is to produce pure water in the second container while retaining any contaminants in the first container.'''

Answer 2

Distilled water gets its name from the process of distillation, which involves boiling water to create steam and then condensing the steam back into pure water. This process removes impurities and minerals, resulting in distilled water.
