Doesn't an acid have to be an acid, though?

amphotericity is some weird shit, so yes. Water also an acid. (100% butchered the translation)

In that situation, is it called hydroxic acid, as OP says?

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

yes, but also in other situations too. It's a valid name for water.

It can behave like an acid by donating a proton when mixed with a stronger base.
