stocks
Broth or shares
Stocks are shares of ownership in a company, bought and sold as investments: She put her savings into stocks.
The stock market tracks their collective value.
Historically, stocks were a wooden device that locked a person's ankles (or wrists and neck) in place for public punishment and humiliation.
In cooking, stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering bones, meat, or vegetables—the foundation for soups and sauces.
Stock also means supply or inventory: We're low on stock.
To stock shelves is to fill them with goods.
Something in stock is available; out of stock means unavailable.
