The word "whisky" comes from the Gaelic word "usquebaugh." What is its literal translation in English?

The Gaelic term "usquebaugh" is derived from the Scottish Gaelic "uisce beatha," which translates to "water of life." With this in mind, whisky has an etymological connection with a large number of other spirits, all of which relate to the spirit's beginnings - the search for the elixir of life.
