taxi acuático; acuataxi: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la denominación "taxi acuático" es preferible a la expresión inglesa "water taxi". [...] El adjetivo inglés "water" significa "de agua", "acuático", por lo que la alternativa taxi acuático designa con precisión y más claridad este concepto en español y puede ser empleada, por tanto, para referirse a este tipo de transporte. 1, record 1, Spanish, - taxi%20acu%C3%A1tico
