POOL

n.[L. palus; Gr. probably from setting, standing, like L. stagnum, or from issuing, as a spring. ] A small collection of water in a hollow place, supplied by a spring, and discharging its surplus water by an outlet.

It is used by writers with more latitude, and sometimes signifies a body of stagnant water.
