Can you even define the term that way? Is deuterium oxide hydroscopic then?

hydroscopic means it gets water any way it can. from the air, from flesh. if it can find it it'll get it. deuterium oxide is hydroscopic because it will get water out of the air so it's normally kept under N2

Deuterium oxide, heavy water is not hygroscopic, it does not pull water out of the air.

No water is not hygroscopic.
When something is hygroscopic this something is capable of pulling water out of the air. Water i snot capable of that.
hydroscoop is an apparate to look in water, a submarine can have a hydroscoop

Hygroscopic means "tends to absorb water". It is usually used in the description of solids.
