POND, n. L. pono; pontus, the sea.
1. A body of stagnant water without an outlet, larger than a puddle, and smaller than a lake; or a like body of water with a small outlet. In the United States, we give this name to collections of water in the interior country, which are fed by springs, and from which issues a small stream. These ponds are often a mile or two or even more in length, and the current issuing from them is used to drive the wheels of mills and furnaces.
2. A collection of water raised in a river by a dam, for the purpose of propelling mill-wheels. These artificial ponds are called mill-ponds.
Pond for fist. See Fish-pond.
POND, v.t. from the noun. To make a pond; to collect in a pond by stopping the current of a river.
POND, v.t. To ponder. Not in use.
