SEA (in O. Eng. sae, a common Teutonic word; cf. Ger. See, Dutch Zee, &c.; the ultimate source is uncertain)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 529 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SEA (in O. Eng. sae, a common Teutonic word; cf. Ger. See, Dutch Zee, &c.; the ultimate source is uncertain) , in its widest sense that
part
  of the surface of the globe which consists of
salt
  water, in distinction from dry
land
 . The greater divisions of " the sea," in this sense, are called oceans, and are dealt with under the heading OCEAN AND OCEANOGRAPHY, the latter being the
term
  now generally applied to the scientific study of the sea. The word " sea," however, is also used, in a restricted sense, in application to specific parts of the
great
  oceans, more or less clearly defined by a partial
land
 -boundary. Such are the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean Sea, connected with the
Atlantic
  Ocean; the Arabian Sea, a division of the Indian Ocean, and the China and Japan Seas of the western Pacific Ocean. Subdivisions of
great
  seas are similarly defined (e.g. the Adriatic Sea), and a few large bodies of
salt
  water entirely land-locked are also called sease.g. the Caspian Sea, the Sea of
Aral
 , the Dead Sea. Sea-level is the assumed mean level of the sea, serving as a datum from which to calculate the
elevation
  of land in surveying (q.v.).
