Fountainhead - a podcast by Word of the Day

Fountainhead is a noun that refers to the origin of something.

After entering the English language in the 16th century, our word of the day came to refer to the original source of a river. More recently it’s come to be used metaphorically, as in: Chuck’s firing was the fountainhead of our movement. When we saw him being unfairly dismissed, we realized something had to be done.
