The ocean's way of saying it's been crying since forever, just very, very slowly.
means Salinity is the measure of how much salt is dissolved in water, usually expressed as grams of salt per kilogram of water.
from Straightforward Latin ancestry: 'salinitas' from 'salinus' meaning 'of salt,' rooted in 'sal,' the basic Latin word for salt — the same root that gives us 'salary' (from salt rations paid to Roman soldiers), 'salad' (salted greens), and 'saline.' No trickery here — just salt, piled on salt, through the centuries.
