nets
Trawler's catch tools
Nets are mesh structures of interwoven strands, used for catching fish, stopping balls, or containing things.
The word also refers to what remains after deductions: She nets about four thousand a month after taxes.
To net something is to catch it or to earn it clear of expenses: The fundraiser netted twelve thousand dollars. (Capitalized Nets is the Brooklyn basketball team.)
