brooks
Babbling water channels
Brooks functions as both verb and noun.
As a verb, it means to tolerate or endure, almost always in the negative: She brooks no dissent.
The usage is formal and slightly archaic.
As a noun, brooks are small natural streams, narrower than rivers: The trail crossed several brooks.
The plural appears in place names and as a surname.
