In the discussion on the origin of the word SPA, there is a word that runs through it, that is "hydrotherapy", which reflects the important role of water in the ancient treatment field and early European SPA culture. Most people think that the word SPA is the original combination of some Latin phrases, such as "sanitas per aquam", "solus per aquam" and "sanus per aquam". These phrases all mean "treat with water". Another way of saying this is that hot springs originated from the graffiti "salut per aquam" in Roman bathrooms.

SPA may also come from the Walloon word "espa", which means fountain, or from the Latin word "spagere", which means splashing water. Some experts believe that the word originated from a small town in Belgium called Spa, which is famous for its hot springs. Later, the word spa was used to refer to hot springs and health resorts that provide spas. In 19 and the 20th century, drinking mineral water or bathing with mineral water became a fashionable leisure way.
