Sand Is Called Sand

That's a hilarious question! Hey, but sand exists on the banks of oceans, rivers, lakes, and many water bodies as well. Hence, that isn't the reason behind the etymology of the English word, "sand." Since English is a West Germanic language, many of the English words have deeper roots to the German language. Interestingly, "sand" is called "sand" in German as well. A hilarious Hits Blunt meme, nonetheless!
