Fountain
Plaza's water feature
A fountain is a structure that sends water into the air, typically for decorative purposes in parks, plazas, or gardens.
The word extends to any source that flows upward or outward: a drinking fountain, a soda fountain, a fountain of blood.
Figuratively, a fountain is an abundant source: a fountain of knowledge, a fountain of youth.
The verb means to flow or spurt upward: Water fountained from the broken pipe.
