bank
Where deposits go
At least two – and maybe three – separate words have entered English with the spelling bank, and the original nouns have spawned verbs, so you might say there is a whole bank (that is, series of objects in a row) of meanings associated with bank.
The bank of a river or lake is the part where land and water meet.
This meaning gives rise to the banks which are the edges of a pool table; when you bank a shot, you drive a ball to one of these banks.
The institution called a bank stores and lends money.
When you bank money, you put it in a bank.
When you bank on something, you depend on it: I’m banking on getting a raise.
