course
When referring to education, "course" can be used for a single class or a whole program of study (like a degree course). In the context of meals, it is common to distinguish between the "starter," the "main course," and the "dessert." As a verb, "course" is almost always used to describe liquids (like blood, tears, or water) moving quickly and powerfully.
