Definition
Structures that shoot or spray water into the air for beauty or decoration; or the sources where springs naturally emerge.
Etymology
From Old French 'fontaine', from Latin 'fontana' (fountain, spring), from 'fons' (spring, source). The term evolved from natural springs to ornamental water features in ancient times.
Kelly Says
The oldest known fountains are from ancient Mesopotamia around 2000 BC, and they were actually powered by water pressure from natural springs—not pumps!
