From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Fluid \Flu"id\, n.       A fluid substance; a body whose particles move easily among       themselves.          Note: Fluid is a generic term, including liquids and gases as                species. Water, air, and steam are fluids. By analogy,                the term is sometimes applied to electricity and                magnetism, as in phrases electric fluid, magnetic                fluid, though not strictly appropriate.          {Fluid dram}, [or] {Fluid drachm}, a measure of capacity             equal to one eighth of a fluid ounce.          {Fluid ounce}.       (a) In the United States, a measure of capacity, in             apothecaries' or wine measure, equal to one sixteenth of             a pint or 29.57 cubic centimeters. This, for water, is             about 1.04158 ounces avoirdupois, or 455.6 grains.       (b) In England, a measure of capacity equal to the twentieth             part of an imperial pint. For water, this is the weight             of the avoirdupois ounce, or 437.5 grains.          {Fluids of the body}. (Physiol.) The circulating blood and             lymph, the chyle, the gastric, pancreatic, and intestinal             juices, the saliva, bile, urine, aqueous humor, and muscle             serum are the more important fluids of the body. The             tissues themselves contain a large amount of combined             water, so much, that an entire human body dried in vacuo             with a very moderate degree of heat gives about 66 per             cent of water.          {Burning fluid}, {Elastic fluid}, {Electric fluid}, {Magnetic       fluid}, etc. See under {Burning}, {Elastic}, etc.
