I'm rebuild brakes and clutch with new seal on a Stag. I have  this brake
fluid

https://www.bpnorthwest.com/fluid-brake-clutch-castrol-lma-12-oz.html
which says DOT 4 synthetic  (Castrol) . If it is synthetic, will it absorb
water?

I'm a bit confused as people are saying get DOT5. synthetic. Is the buzz
word synthetic?

Another thing. I was always told to get small sealed bottles and open when
needed. Is this the case with synthetic fluid?

My car wont go on the road anytime soon but I don't want the brakes and
clutch to seize up and rust.
