reservoir

[C/U] Cả hai
Số nhiều: reservoirs

The term evokes a sense of stillness and accumulated potential. It describes a volume of resources that is intentionally gathered and held in reserve, waiting to be tapped into or released. There is a strong connotation of security and readiness associated with the word. While a lake might be natural and random, a reservoir suggests purpose and management. When used for human traits or knowledge, it implies a depth that is not immediately visible on the surface but can be drawn upon during times of need or crisis.

Countable when referring to a specific physical basin or tank of water. Uncountable when referring to a general supply of a resource or quality.
