Origin

Early 18th century: from Latin aqua marina 'seawater'.

In Latin aqua means ‘water’ and marina means ‘of the sea, marine’. Put them together and you get aquamarine, a precious stone the blue-green colour of sea water. Other words from aqua include aquarium (mid 19th century), aquatic (Late Middle English), and aqueduct (mid 16th century), which is combined with Latin ducere ‘to lead’.
