A breathing apparatus consisting of a tank of compressed air worn on the back, allowing a person to breathe underwater while diving.
Where the word comes from
SCUBA is an acronym coined in 1952 for "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus." The word itself doesn't trace back through older languages—it was invented from English words to describe the then-revolutionary diving equipment developed during World War II. Over time, "scuba" shifted from an acronym to a standalone word used as a noun and adjective, as in "scuba diving."
