Wild trees last longer than garden trees; and in the same kind, those whose fruit is acid, more than those whose fruit is sweet. Francis Bacon, Natural History, №. 585.
Acid, or sour, proceeds from a salt of the same nature, without mixture of oil; in austere tastes the oily parts have not disentangled themselves from the salts and earthy parts; such is the taste of unripe fruits. John Arbuthnot, on Aliments.
Liquors and substances are called acids, which being composed of pointed particles, affect the taste in a sharp and piercing manner. The common way of trying, whether any particular liquor hath in it any particles of this kind, is by mixing it with syrup of violets, which it will turn of a red colour; but if it contains alkaline or lixivial particles, it changes that syrup green. John Quincy.

ACID
In computer science, ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) is a set of properties of database transactions intended to guarantee data validity despite errors, power failures, and other mishaps. In the context of databases, a sequence of database operations that satisfies the ACID properties (which can be perceived as a single logical operation on the data) is called a transaction. For example, a transfer of funds from one bank account to another, even involving multiple changes such as debiting one account and crediting another, is a single transaction. In 1983, Andreas Reuter and Theo Härder coined the acronym ACID, building on earlier work by Jim Gray who named atomicity, consistency, and durability, but not isolation, when characterizing the transaction concept. These four properties are the major guarantees of the transaction paradigm, which has influenced many aspects of development in database systems. According to Gray and Reuter, the IBM Information Management System supported ACID transactions as early as 1973 (although the acronym was created later).

acid
An acid is a chemical substance or compound that donates a proton (hydrogen ion) in a solution or has the ability to form a covalent bond with an electron pair. In other words, it increases the concentration of hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Acids generally have a sour taste, can turn blue litmus paper red, and can react with bases to form salts and water. They also participate in certain chemical reactions known as acid-base reactions. There are two primary types of acids: mineral (inorganic) acids and organic acids. Acids are important in numerous biological systems and industrial processes.
Webster Dictionary
Acidadjective
sour, sharp, or biting to the taste; tart; having the taste of vinegar: as, acid fruits or liquors. Also fig.: Sour-tempered
Acidadjective
of or pertaining to an acid; as, acid reaction
Acidnoun
a sour substance
Acidnoun
one of a class of compounds, generally but not always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors. They are also characterized by the power of destroying the distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen are sometimes called hydracids in distinction from the others which are called oxygen acids or oxacids
Etymology: [L. acidus sour, fr. the root ak to be sharp: cf. F. acide. Cf. Acute.]

Acid
An acid is a substance which reacts with a base. Commonly, acids can be identified as tasting sour, reacting with metals such as calcium, and reacting with bases such as sodium carbonate. Aqueous acids have a pH under 7. Solutions with higher acidity have lower pH. Chemicals or substances having the property of an acid are said to be acidic. Common examples of acids include acetic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and tartaric acid. As these examples show, acids can be solutions or pure substances, and can be derived from solids, liquids, or gases. Strong acids and some concentrated weak acids are corrosive, but there are exceptions such as carboranes and boric acid. There are three common definitions for acids: the Arrhenius definition, the Brønsted-Lowry definition, and the Lewis definition. The Arrhenius definition defines acids as substances which increase the concentration of hydronium ions in solution. The Brønsted-Lowry definition is an expansion: an acid is a substance which can act as a proton donor, while a base acts as a proton acceptor. By this definition, any compound which can easily be deprotonated can be considered an acid. Examples include alcohols and amines which contain O-H or N-H fragments. Lewis acids are electron-pair acceptors, while Lewis bases donate an electron-pair. Examples of Lewis acids include all metal cations, and electron-deficient molecules such as boron trifluoride and aluminium trichloride.
