fountain
Plaza water feature
A fountain is a structure that sends water upward in a stream or spray, typically decorative: The children played in the fountain at the park's center.
The word extends to any source that flows upward or outward: a drinking fountain, a soda fountain.
Figuratively, a fountain is an abundant source: a fountain of knowledge, a fountain of youth.
A fountain pen contains an internal ink reservoir that feeds the nib.
