The answer
FLOAT
What float means
A object that stays on or near the surface of a liquid without sinking, or to rest suspended in air or water without moving downward.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *fleotian*, meaning "to swim" or "drift," which comes from Proto-Germanic *fleutaną*. This root is related to Old Norse *flióta* and Old High German *fliozzan*. The sense shifted from the physical act of swimming to the broader idea of moving lightly or remaining on a surface, giving us the modern meaning of staying buoyant on water or air.
