    Note to Vocabulary.com: The 'friendly' definition for 'quintessence' states the four elements the Greeks believed matter was constituted of were earth, wind, air, and fire. Since wind and air are essentially describing the same substance, shouldn't one of them be replaced with the element of water (since it's kind of a crucial substance)?
