Utter nonsense.

    [Libor, thanks for pointing out the equilibrium condition.]

As easily shown, your derivation is wrong.  The English word “equilibrium” 
comes from the 17th-century New Latin word «æquilībrium», which is a 
compound of «æquus» “equal“ and «lībra» “pair of scales”, “balance” (cf.
the constellation).  See also “equilateral” (triangle), “equinox”, etc.

<https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/equilibrium>
<https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/equilibrium>
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/equilibrium>

“steam” is, trivially, «vapor» in Latin (from which the English word is 
derived), and «(υδρ)ατμός» ([ydr]atmós) in Greek (cf. English “atmosphere”).

<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/steam#Translations>

    [Do notice the wisdom of Ancient Greek scholars that speaks from this:
     “water” is «ὕδωρ» (húdōr) in Ancient Greek, so the “atmosphere” is
     literally the “sphere of water vapor/steam”.  James McGinn is
     *millennia* behind.]

«ibrium» is not a (Latin) word at all.  «i_m_brium», as in «Mare Imbrium»
(„Sea of Rains/Storms“, one of the basaltic plains on Luna) is the genitive 
plural of Latin «imber» “rain”, “storm(cloud)”.
